summary: "Researchers have developed an AI surrogate modelling framework to accelerate wildfire hazard mapping across Canada, reducing computation time from days or weeks to seconds. The framework uses a multi-task deep learning model trained on national-scale data to emulate burn probability, mean fire intensity, and mean rate of spread, while incorporating domain-specific metrics and counterfactual evaluation protocols."

## Summary

Researchers have developed an AI surrogate modelling framework to accelerate wildfire hazard mapping across Canada, reducing computation time from days or weeks to seconds\. The framework uses a multi\-task deep learning model trained on national\-scale data to emulate burn probability, mean fire intensity, and mean rate of spread, while incorporating domain\-specific metrics and counterfactual evaluation protocols\.
