Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

With the advent of big data analytic, Machine Learning and more generally, Artificial Intelligence (AI), has been developing rapidly, especially in the last few years, drawing much worldwide attention among universities, research institutes and industries of all sectors, and even government agencies. Civil engineering, a traditional pillar industry during the period of explosive developments of AI, urgently requires a fresh wave of technological and industrial upgrading. The application of AI technology in civil engineering is thus a critical milestone in the evolution of intelligent engineering.
