This hands-on workshop explores the modern geospatial toolkit for property valuation and assessment. We’ll explore how spatial analytics can enhance assessment accuracy, uncover neighborhood patterns, and support more defensible valuations. We’ll start with the essentials—bringing your data into Pro and performing exploratory spatial analysis—before moving into advanced tools for valuation modeling. Learn how to apply exploratory regression, forest-based classification and regression, geographically weighted regression (GWR), spatially constrained multivariate clustering, and territory design tools to improve accuracy and insight in your valuation workflows. We’ll also introduce the R-Bridge for extending analytical capabilities with custom scripts. If time permits, we’ll conclude with …

Creating Machine Learning Models For Valuation, Joshua Jorgensen, Luke Jorgensen, Zach Knepp Mar 2026

Creating Machine Learning Models For Valuation, Joshua Jorgensen, Luke Jorgensen, Zach Knepp

GIS/ValuationTechnologies Conference 2026

In this workshop we will walk through the entire process of creating multiple types of machine learning algorithms to predict property values and how to evaluate their performance. We will explore the necessary steps for preprocessing the data for the machine learning models and even how to create data encoders. In addition we will create multiple machine learning models, and compare the performance of these machine learning models. To follow up with we will lightly look into the effects of hyperparameters on machine learning models. Lastly we will examine other types of machine learning models and applications that can be …

Leveraging Arcgis Pro To Manage Parcels (Full-Day) Workshop, Jason Camerano Mar 2026

Leveraging Arcgis Pro To Manage Parcels (Full-Day) Workshop, Jason Camerano

GIS/ValuationTechnologies Conference 2026

In this hands-on workshop, attendees will learn about managing parcels in ArcGIS Pro, utilizing the Parcel Fabric data model, and how to extend it for their data migration. Once data is migrated, the focus will shift to common record-driven and quality-driven workflows. Agenda: The ArcGIS Parcel Fabric information model and how to extend it for your organization Data migration to the Parcel Fabric Record-driven workflows and parcel lineage Quality-driven workflows to evaluate and improve data quality Modern implementation patterns that use service-oriented architecture (SOA) and versioning to support Multi-user, concurrent editing Using and configuring Tasks for your repeatable workflows The …

Revisiting The Central Structure Of Ngc 4374 With Jwst/Nircam: A Hidden Agn And A Depleted Core, Elizabeth Creviston Mar 2026

Revisiting The Central Structure Of Ngc 4374 With Jwst/Nircam: A Hidden Agn And A Depleted Core, Elizabeth Creviston

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Depleted cores in massive early-type galaxies provide key insights into their merger histories and co-evolution with supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Binary SMBHs that spiral inward after gas-poor galaxy mergers are thought to eject stars from the center through dynamical interactions, scouring out cores and creating central stellar light deficits. Using the full radial extent of James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) F150W imaging, we extracted the surface brightness profile of NGC 4374, a giant elliptical galaxy in the Virgo Cluster. Our structural analysis reveals a compact (FWHM ∼ 0.11′′) active galactic nucleus (AGN) with an apparent magnitude …

Demonstrating Sysml V2’S Utility With Syside And Syson For Systems Modeling, Quinn Galen Mar 2026

Demonstrating Sysml V2’S Utility With Syside And Syson For Systems Modeling, Quinn Galen

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

This study highlights the practical utility of SysML v2’s kernel language, a formal, text based foundation for consistent, cross tool model definitions, in Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), using Air Traffic Management (ATM) as an illustrative example. SysIDE, an open source textual editor, enables rapid model creation with the kernel’s concise syntax, allowing users to define system components and behaviors (e.g., ATM radar or flight path interactions) with real time validation. SysON, a web based graphical tool, complements this by facilitating collaborative visualization of system architectures. Using ATM as an example case, we can showcase how the kernel language enhances …

Conceptual Exploration Of Film Cooling Techniques In Hydrogen Gas Turbines, Wen Wu Mar 2026

Conceptual Exploration Of Film Cooling Techniques In Hydrogen Gas Turbines, Wen Wu

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Film cooling is a key heat transfer technique that protects gas turbine blades from extreme temperatures, allowing higher turbine inlet temperatures and greater thermal efficiency. It works by ejecting a thin layer of cooler air from the compressor through small holes onto the hot surface, creating a protective film layer that lowers surface temperature and reduces thermal stress on blades. This process is vital in power generation and propulsion systems that operate near material limits. With growing emphasis on sustainability, film cooling has gained new importance in hydrogen-fueled gas turbines. Hydrogen combustion creates water vaper and low-density exhaust gases, which …
