Tech Tutors: How do I get started using ML for my camera traps? Building Accurate Project-Specific Models​

Hi Wildlabbers, 

We're so excited for our second Tech Tutors session tomorrow with Sara Beery, who will be tackling the question: How do I get started using ML for my camera traps? Building Accurate Project-Specific Models​. There's still time to register, so make sure you reserve your space here on Eventbrite!

If you've registered for this session, you should have instructions from Eventbrite about how to join. You'll also receive reminder emails tomorrow when the event starts.

After the session, I'll update this thread with the video recording so it's easily accessible (it'll also go up on Youtube + main session page). If you have questions that don't get answered in the sessions or want to continue discussions that pop up in the chat, please use this thread to continue the conversation. We'll pass any follow-up questions posted in here along to Sara.

If you'd like to prep for this session, our first machine learning episode from last week is a great way to refresh your knowledge on the subject - you can find our recording with Dan Situnayake here.

See you all soon!

Ellie

 




Hi, just a follow-up question that we didn't get to in the video:

How do folks navigate the intellectual property/ownership/credit-giving issues on these big general datasets, particularly those that are crowd-sourced and/or coming from different people/organizations?

Hi everyone! 

We've now posted Sara's session to our youtube channel, and I've also popped it up the top of this thread.

The collaborative notes worked really well! I've now updated them to capture what happened in the chat - it should be a helpful companion to go alongside the recording. The notes have links, projects, and key discussions we saw in the chat, and summarise the questions Sara coverd in the discussion as well as the Qs we weren't able to get to (40mins overtime was our limit!). If your question was one of the outstanding ones and you'd like to have it answered, please drop it in the discussion below. 

The notes now also have the participant check ins (such an awesome range of places, projects and interests!) - I'm sharing these as seeing what other people are doing might help you connect with each other. If you see someone you want to connect with, try and find them using  our member direcyour people tab. If you can't, email Ellie and she will see if that person is happy to hear from you before connecting you.

Reminder, registration is open for Carlos' tutorial next week: How do I perform automated recordings of bird assemblages? Register here.  

Thanks everyone!

Great talk! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some  high schoolers have done small AI projects(s) and have interest in the wildlife.
What resources would you all suggest to further develop high schooler’s interest in AI?
