Discovering Effective Policies for Land-Use Planning with Neuroevolution
Published in Environmental Data Science, 2025
This project is one of the starting points for Project Resilience, a collaboration between the Cognizant AI Lab and the United Nations to use AI for Good. A web-app demo can be found at https://landuse.evolution.ml/. The project was first presented at the United Nations AI For Good Summit 2023 in Geneva, then was brought to the NeurIPS 2023 Workshop: Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning, where it received the Best Pathway to Impact Award. Then it was presented at Baylearn 2024 and finally found its home published in Environmental Data Science.
