When an#nbsp;air pollution episode starts in#nbsp;a#nbsp;city, it’s important to#nbsp;understand the expected scale of#nbsp;the problem as#nbsp;early as#nbsp;possible to#nbsp;respond most effectively. As#nbsp;part of#nbsp;our internal research projects, our mathematical modeling team is#nbsp;training neural networks to#nbsp;classify air pollution episodes by#nbsp;their potential size and possible cause. This is#nbsp;based on#nbsp;an#nbsp;array of#nbsp;data from about 500 events that occurred in#nbsp;the same city over a#nbsp;year.
