In his presentation, Dr. Wang shared how machine learning is not just facilitating a more effective geotechnical engineering workflow, but is providing new solutions that were previously unimaginable for many long-standing geotechnical engineering challenges. His lecture discussed machine learning innovations in a wide range of topics, including material and subsurface uncertainty quantification, numerical simulations of geotechnical systems, and geotechnical health monitoring, and included multiple examples related to site investigation, deep excavations, slopes, and transportation geotechnics. He further illustrated the tangible outcomes of his research and demonstrated that machine learning innovations are already being successfully transformed into concrete industry implementations with real-world impact.
