Abstract: 

Significant near-term advances in machine learning integrated with advanced novel data sources enables predictive analytics of public equities via supply chain observation and anomaly detection. While full motion video, optical imaging and other traditional structured and unstructured data sources have dominated Earth observation, the advent of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) disrupts these methods due to three key advantages: 24-7 coverage, ability to penetrate surfaces (e.g. infrastructure and soil) and the ability to “see” through clouds, fog, smog, smoke and even extreme weather. This lecture provides insights on this neglected but critical convergence of SAR and ML technologies.
