In the first, you will use computer vision to analyze satellite imagery from Hurricane Harvey in 2017 to identify damage in affected areas. In the second, you will use natural language processing techniques to explore trends in aid requests in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.

Very informative walk-through some of the basics of Disaster Management and some of the AI techniques that are used. Labs are set up well to get an initial feel for applications. Great presentation.

Great lectures, very insighful; I enjoyed the labs, and the structured framework for approaching the projects. The whole specialization is worthwhile!
