Saving whales with deep learning

Piotr Niedwied explores how deepsense.io created the worlds best deep learning model for identifying individual right whales using aerial photography for the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and explains what happened when the solution was covered by news media around the globe.

The last couple of years have seen significant development in the area of data analytics. When people talk about innovation in data analytics they usually mean the latest developments in software, hardware, or science. However, broad interdomain awareness about which problems can be solved using state-of-art deep learning techniques also plays a key role in data analytics development. Deepsense.io specializes in helping companies from a number of industries discover and solve very demanding problems using the newest machine-learning methods. Piotr Niedźwiedź explores how deepsense.io created the world’s best deep learning model for identifying individual right whales using aerial photography for the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). This keynote is sponsored by deepsense.io.
