Infrastructure as a core requirement for large projects and new methods

On this page:

  • Overview
This presentation will cover EPA use cases demonstrating how to evaluate and implement software and artificial intelligence (AI) methods for incorporation into existing assessment workflows. EPA environmental assessments aggregate data from numerous sources, many of which are not readily available in a computable format (e.g., images, PDF documents). AI methods and software improvements can dramatically reduce the time required to carry out assessments by reducing the need for human intervention, and can be adopted with minimal disruption by prioritizing modularity and interoperability.

Impact/Purpose

The session will address considerations to evaluate software and artificial intelligence tools into evidence synthesis workflows.
