Dr. Aliaga is a Computer Science professor at Purdue University who primarily focuses his research on AI. His talk centers around the Urban AI of tomorrow and how it is not just a futuristic idea but is inevitable. Dr. Aliaga’s research is in computer graphics but overlaps with computer vision and visualization while also having strong collaborations outside of computer science. Dr. Aliaga’s pioneering work is focused at urban visual computing and machine learning that provide innovative “what-if” design tools enabling urban stake holders from cities worldwide to automatically integrate, process, analyze, and visualize the complex interdependencies between the urban form, function, and the natural environment. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
