High-tech advances are opening new possibilities to enable people to beat the heat as temperatures in many places continue to climb. An article first published on the Fulton Schools website, details research led by Hua Wei, an assistant professor of computer science and engineering in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools, that helps to provide ways to cope with the rising trend of extreme heat, especially in urban areas. Wei and his research team are developing new artificial intelligence, or AI, tools to predict and map the movement of shade. The DeepShade AI system produces maps giving detailed guidance to routes providing the most shade.
