Tohoku Tsunami

The Tohoku tsunami was a devastating event that struck North-East Japan in 2011 and remained in the memory of people worldwide. The amount of devastation was so great that it took years to achieve a proper assessment of the economical and structural damage, with the consequences still being felt today. However, this tsunami was also one of the first observed from the sky by modern satellites and aircrafts, thus providing a unique opportunity to exploit these data and train artificial intelligence methods that could help to better handle the aftermath of similar disasters in the future. This paper provides a review of how artificial intelligence methods applied to case studies about the Tohoku tsunami have evolved since 2011. We focus on more than 15 studies that are compared and evaluated in terms of the data they require, the methods used, their degree of automation, their metric performances, and their strengths and weaknesses.

A short interaction with a great man is supplying your life with a source that is generating innovative ideas and thoughts. My work at the department of Moscow power engineering institute, headed by academician VA. Kotelnikov, filled my scientific life with the idea of creating an optical computer that can solve in a flesh the problems solved by a modern supercomputer in a month. This idea has different derivatives, for example, points to possible traps of digitalization, especially in the development of collective and artificial intelligence methods.

AbstractNew technologies have always been disruptive for established systems and processes. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is proving to be one such process which has the potential to disrupt handicraft and its manufacturing processes. AM is customisable, adopt multiple materials and is not restricted by the manufacturing process. Our research discusses this global phenomenon with case studies to highlights the growth of a new kind of professionals known as ‘Digital Artisans’. These artisans will assimilate the latest technologies with the cultural practices of the societies to create a new genre of products. The evolution of such artisans will be majorly led by people who have an equal inclination towards art and science and can act as the bridge between the handicrafts and technology. The development of such artisans will be supported by academics that will serve as a cradle and expose them to AM, design and handicraft. Its will also help in paving the growth of contemporary artisans who will utilise the strength of algorithms, artificial intelligence, CAD software and traditional aesthetics to create handicrafts of the future.

AbstractData assimilation is a powerful tool for directly forecasting tsunami wavefields from the waveforms recorded at dense observational stations like S-Net without the need to know the earthquake source parameters. However, this method requires a high computational load and a quick warning is essential when a tsunami threat is near. We propose a new approach based on a deep predictive coding network for forecasting spatiotemporal tsunami wavefields. Unlike the previous data assimilation method, which continuously computes the wavefield when observed data are available, we use only a short sequence from previously assimilated wavefields to forecast the future wavefield. Since the predictions are computed through matrix multiplication, the future wavefield can be estimated in seconds. We apply the proposed method to simple bathymetry and the 2011 Tohoku tsunami. The results show that our proposed method is very fast (1.6 s for 32 frames of prediction with 1-min interval) and comparable to the previous data assimilation. Therefore, the proposed method is promising for integration with data assimilation to reduce the computational cost.

Dominant design narratives about “the future” contain many contemporary manifestations of “orientalism” and Anti-Chineseness. In US discourse, Chinese people are often characterized as a single communist mass and the primary market for which this future is designed. By investigating the construction of modern Chinese pop culture in Chinese internet and artificial intelligence, and discussing different cultural expressions across urban, rural, and queer Chinese settings, I challenge external Eurocentric and orientalist perceptions of techno-culture in China, positing instead a view of Sinofuturism centered within contemporary Chinese contexts.
