Artificial Intelligence Applications in Magnetospheric Modeling and Forecasting Modern techniques of artificial intelligence provide as yet unexploited methods for capturing into computer programs human expertise with the geomagnetic effects of the Sun and solar wind. Experts can train neural networks to perform pattern recognition and time series prediction.
Knowledge engineers can interview experts and convert their techniques to expert systems.
Genetic algorithms can refine the networks and collections of rules. Fuzzy logic can make these systems simpler and more robust. This symposium solicits contributions on the application of AI techniques to phenomena in solar-terrestrial physics. This half-day symposium will be held Wednesday afternoon, July 14, 1995. The invited speakers, Henrik Lundsted and Dimitris Vassiliadis will review past and present uses of AI is space weather forecasting, as well as potential future applications.
