What if AI could make EU's energy systems more efficient?

That's what #AI-EFFECT Project is working toward.
At @hertieschool.bsky.social, Prof @lynnhkaack.bsky.social & her team are investigating how regulation enables or hinders AI deployment in energy.

At the Hertie School, students tackle climate change with machine learning - and group puzzles.

AI + shrimp farming + biodiversity = climate problem-solving for the real world 🌱

In 🆕 research @silkekaiser.bsky.social @hertieschool.bsky.social, Prof. Nadja Klein @kit.edu, & Prof. @lynnhkaack.bsky.social have explored how limited bicycle traffic data can be extrapolated to predict street-level #cycling volumes across entire cities.

.@silkekaiser.bsky.social, Nadja Klein and I just published a new paper on bikes: 🚲 We predict the cycling volume for major streets in #Berlin using data from Strava and bike sharing systems.
Result: It works so-so, but much better with additional short-term counts in from the predicted street!
🚴‍♀️ Just published in Environmental Data Science!

In our paper (w/ Nadja Klein & @lynnhkaack.bsky.social), we use ML and crowdsourced data to estimate city-wide bicycle volumes beyond sparsely located counting stations.

(1/2) Aiming to address a current gap in systematic analyses of climate policies, Professor of Computer Science and Public Policy @lynnhkaack.bsky.social recently published a dataset to identify policy design elements in EU climate and energy policies.

How does one evaluate policy design? By looking at informative details in the text.
Sebastian Sewerin and I developed a coding scheme to identify policy design elements in climate policy, and with our team we annotated >20,000 spans. The dataset is now out: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
