13.11.2. Machine Learning and AI in IDF Curve Prediction

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does Machine Learning do?

   Hint

   Think about how computers improve over time.

2. 2.

   Name one algorithm used in Machine Learning.

   Hint

   You learned of these in class discussions.

3. 3.

   What is Machine Learning primarily used for?

   • Making predictions based on data
   • Generating images
   • Calculating averages

   Hint

   Remember the definition discussed in class.

4. 4.

   True or False: Dynamic updates are irrelevant in hydrological models.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider examples we went over in class.

5. 5.

   How would you implement a Neural Network to predict IDF curves given a dataset? Discuss architecture and input features.

   Hint

   Consider the types of data you need to input and how layers function in a network.

6. 6.

   Discuss the implications of using outdated IDF curves in urban areas prone to climate variability.

   Hint

   Reflect on what could happen if designs don't match current data.
