WP5 Synthetic Index and Attribution Scheme: the BACIndex  Lead: FSU Jena Main Contact: Joachim Denzler Team: Maha Shadaydeh, Yanira Guanche, Joachim Denzler (WP5 lead) OBJECTIVES The goal of WP5 is the development of a synthetic change or novelty index (BACIndex) that allows for detecting sudden events and abnormal changes in the multivariate EO data streams. The index will be generic, but in the context of the project, specific emphasis will be on detecting abrupt changes that are relevant to the essential ecosystem variables, i.e. properties relevant to the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, biosphere-atmosphere exchanges of matter and energy, and biodiversity related properties. The problem of detecting change in given data is a challenging machine learning problem and is often referred to as “novelty detection” or “discovery”. WP5 also entails an attribution scheme, i.e. machine learning techniques that allow for measuring the influence of input variables on the novelty detection score. |
 | Hotspots of Anomalies: combining different machine learning methods we try to detect extreme events in historical data and define those areas with higher amount of abnormal records. Here is shown the average of anomalies over the year 2010, with the 2010 Russian heat wave. |
