PhD student Anna Maria Mihel, mag. ing. comp. has defended her PhD dissertation topic entitled “Estimation and prediction of discharges in tidal rivers and estuaries using machine learning” with expected scientific contributions of the proposed research being:
- A machine learning-based approach for estimation and prediction of water levels and discharges in tidal rivers and estuaries.
- A hybrid machine learning model that integrates an attention mechanism to better identify critical features and improve estimation and prediction accuracy across flow conditions.
- Evaluation of the impact of tidal amplitude and storm surge on water level and river discharge estimation and prediction.
