❗ Why "Copy-Paste" Fails in Science: Calibrating the Model for Calgary

🛰️ I’ve recently updated the land cover data for Calgary using my Proprietary MDEM Framework (Multi-dimensional Environmental Matrix).
Here’s an interesting technical challenge: the methodology that worked flawlessly on data from Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, required significant recalibration for Alberta. Spectral signatures of Canadian spruce and local soil compositions are worlds apart from Eastern European environments.

💻 I am currently refining the local training set to ensure precise differentiation between vegetation types. This level of accuracy is vital for effective urban monitoring and improving the quality of life in our communities.

🌲 The preliminary classification results already offer a fresh, data-driven perspective on the city’s structure. The work continues!

@glv @mfowler Understood and appreciate that notion. Nonetheless ’should hold’ is not ‘shall hold’. I contributed to writing #APEGA ‘Guideline for professional responsibilities in developing software’ back in 2006. It is flawed but also emphasized being “primarily concerned with their responsibility for minimizing risk of failure and protecting the public interest” Could something similar be created in your jurisdiction or beyond?

I can’t help but wonder if one of the reasons people are freaking out over #AI is that software development ‘engineers’ are not generally regulated like actual professional #engineers (and lawyers and physicians etc) who are legally liable for public harm. #apega
