ESA AI challenge: Balearic researcher takes second

Second place in Tampere, Finland: Balearic university researcher Adrián Tobar helps his team finish runner-up in a European Space Agency AI challenge. The task is to develop a way to use artificial intelligence to spot radio-frequency interference in satellite images automatically. The University of the Balearic Islands says 234 people in 172 teams took part in the September contest.

Tobar is an assistant professor in the university’s Department of Mathematical Sciences and Computer Science. The university says the result marks a first step towards a public-private collaboration between TotIA and its Data Modelling and Statistical Learning research group, MoDAE. They aim to explore the use of artificial intelligence known as “edge AI” with satellite and drone data.
