On Monday, January 6 at noon US ET, the Ecological Forecasting Initiative and the ESA Statistical Ecology Section are co-hosting Dr. Ben Weinstein (University of Florida) who will present on "The DeepForest python package and Deep Learning for Airborne Biodiversity Monitoring"
You can register to join the call at: https://bit.ly/4eVeprd DeepForest is a python package for airborne object detection. It allows users to train and fine-tune object detection models in only a few lines of code. It comes with several prebuilt models, including tree detection, bird detection and cattle detection, that serve as backbones for fine tuning to new datasets and taxa. Dr. Weinstein will walk through training, evaluating deepforest models, as well as best practices for one-source machine learning projects in ecology. Upcoming session topics include: Camera Trap Distance Sampling, Computer vision and biodiversity monitoring, and Distance sampling applications in ecology Details about the seminar series and recordings from previous seminars are at: https://ecoforecast.org/workshops/statistical-methods-seminar-series/ -- Jody Peters, PhD *Community Manager* *Ecological Forecasting Initiative, ecoforecast.org <http://ecoforecast.org>, @eco4cast <https://twitter.com/eco4cast>* *PalEON, paleonproject.org <http://paleonproject.org>, @Pal_EON <https://twitter.com/pal_eon?lang=en> * *University of Notre Dame* *Biological Sciences* Galvin 294A Notre Dame, IN 46556 574-631-2175 To unsubscribe from this list please go to https://community.esa.org/confirm/?u=RhPWqPxFwODKvbkiT32nkIqRrsiSgulp
