TUM GNI at the 30th EG-ICE Conference

TUM GNI Researchers presented at the 30th EG-ICE: International Conference on Intelligent Computing. Topics include geotechnical design and assessment, explainability in building design, and generative machine learning. Findings from the TUM GNI-funded research project AI4TWINNING were shared.

TUM GNI attended the EG-ICE: International Conference on Intelligent Computing on 4th-7th July 2023. The conference was co-founded in 1993 by the current TUM GNI Director, Prof. Ian Smith, and celebrated its 30th anniversary in London. 

Three of TUM GNI’s PhDs presented their research at the conference, shared insights, and participated in lively discussions. Dafydd Cotoarba delivered a presentation on “Model Updating for Geotechnical Design and Assessment,” and Andre Yu Li discussed the “Explainability for Support of Open-Sequence Building Design” in a session on life-cycle design support. Klara Santer presented the joint work of Manav M. Singh and herself on “Generative Machine Learning for Energy Predictions of Existing Buildings” in a session on advanced computing in engineering.

Mansour Mahranfar, from the TUM GNI-funded research project AI4TWINNING, shared research from Prof. André Borrmann’s sub-project titled “Automatic creation of digital building twins with rich semantics from dense RGB point clouds through semantic segmentation and model fitting.” 

The conference left its impression on the TUM GNI researchers, providing fresh inspiration and a wealth of new ideas for future TUM GNI research and collaborations.
