◆01: California wildfire monitoring
In the U.S. state of California, due to the effects of recent climate change and intense summer heat, there are an increasing number of cases in which dry leaves in the mountains spontaneously ignite and develop into large-scale wildfires.

DigitalPath, an Internet service provider headquartered in California, is collaborating with the University of California, San Diego and the California Fire Marshal's Office to develop a convolutional neural network for early detection of wildfires. Thousands of cameras across California are now able to detect wildfire outbreaks in real time.



DigitalPath's headquarters are close to the site of a large-scale wildfire that occurred in 2018 and killed 85 people, and early detection of wildfires is not only in the public interest, but also protects people's lives. . DigitalPath CEO Jim Higgins commented, ``We don't want people to lose their lives. That's one of the main reasons we're developing AI.''

◆02: Earthquake prediction
The University of California, Santa Cruz, the University of California, Berkeley, and the Technical University of Munich have published a paper on a deep learning model to predict earthquakes. This earthquake prediction model is a model called ``RECAST'' trained on NVIDIA GPU, and is trained on a larger dataset than conventional models, and is expected to predict earthquakes with higher accuracy.

◆03: Agricultural AI
Verdant, a San Francisco-based AI company, is developing AI for tractors that can weed, fertilize, and spray. This AI-compatible robot tractor is said to be equipped with NVIDIA's Jetson Orin . You can see what kind of tractor it actually is by watching the movie below.

◆04: Fusion reactor
Energy Singularity, a start-up company aiming to commercialize tokamak-type fusion reactors, uses NVIDIA GPUs for fusion simulation and research, and the design of a prototype fusion control system is done on an accelerated server in its office. It is said that it is being carried out. Researcher Ge Dong commented, ``We have used NVIDIA GPUs in all our research. NVIDIA GPUs are one of the most important tools in plasma physics these days.''

◆05: Disaster Shelter
Associate Professor Chaofeng Wang, who studies AI at the University of Florida, uses deep learning and Google Street View images to evaluate urban buildings, and says that the calculations are performed on a computer equipped with an NVIDIA GPU. thing. By automating this building evaluation process, the aim is to support government support for buildings and post-disaster recovery.

◆06: Predicting new coronavirus variants
A research team led by Argonne University biologist Arvind Ramanathan uses a supercomputer equipped with NVIDIA's A100 Tensor Core GPU to develop a model called ``GenSLMs'' that predicts the genetic sequences of new coronavirus variants. I'm training.

'AI's ability to predict the types of genetic mutations present in coronavirus strains is a strong demonstration of its ability to predict the types of genetic mutations present in coronavirus strains, even though it only looked at mutations in alpha and beta strains during training,' Ramanathan said. ” he commented.

◆07: Autonomous wheelchair
Kabilan KB, a student at Karunya Institute of Technology in India, is developing an autonomous wheelchair that incorporates an embedded single-board computer called NVIDIA Jetson to run machine learning applications. Use NVIDIA Omniverse , a platform for building and controlling 3D tools and applications based on the OpenUSD framework, to automatically discover smooth routes to your destination by generating 2D maps from camera and sensor data. The wheelchair moves independently.



◆08: AI system that supports brain surgery
Atlas Mediatech is combining the medical imaging framework MONAI with NVIDIA Omniverse to build an AI-powered decision support and surgical rehearsal platform.

◆09: Optimization of renewable energy
Research is being conducted on optimizing renewable energy power generation, such as solar power generation and wind power generation, and using AI to predict climate and weather. In the following movie, NVIDIA is appealing how AI and NVIDIA hardware are active in renewable energy.

◆10: Cataract surgery simulation
Due to a shortage of ophthalmologists in low-income and middle-income countries, many patients are unable to undergo cataract surgery. With the support of the non-profit organization HelpMeSee, more than 2,000 doctors in low-income countries each year are now able to treat cataracts by undergoing surgical simulations using NVIDIA GPUs. 'We're lowering the bar for healthcare professionals to learn specific skills that can have a huge impact on patients,' said Bonnie Ann Henderson, CEO of HelpMeSee.

◆11: Reducing food loss
San Francisco startup Afresh has developed an AI model that uses fresh food data to track inventory to help grocery stores make inventory purchasing decisions to help reduce food waste from stores. Did. “Reducing food waste is the most impactful action we can take to help mitigate climate change,” said Nathan Fenner, co-founder of Afresh.
