Discovering Effective Policies for Land-Use Planning with Neuroevolution
Published in Environmental Data Science, 2025
Using a surrogate model to evaluate evolved prescriptive neural networks that allocate land use in order to minimize carbon emissions and land-change cost.
A shorter version appeared in the proceedings of the NeurIPS 2023 Workshop: Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning and received the Best Pathway to Impact award. This work was originally presented at the AI for Good Summit 2023 and was presented as a poster at BayLearn 2024.
