Ecosystem Sensing group introduction
This talk will primarily serve as an overview of the work being carried out in I-X’s Ecosystem Sensing group. Sarab will begin by giving an overview of the groups aims and past outputs creating real-time biodiversity sensing devices, deploying large ecological sensor networks, and developing novel AI approaches for the analysis of eco-acoustic data. Mili Ostojic, a PhD student, will then dive into the details of her project developing an autonomous aerial robotic platform for ecological sensing.
This talk will provide a brief overview of Optimal Transport (OT) and its uses in the development of Machine Learning applications, with the aim of encouraging the adoption of the OT toolbox by those using AI/ML tools in their scientific research and demonstrations of the main OT algorithms in the form of Jupyter Notebooks.
