Last week's data increase across Wildbooks was strong, led by Guiana dolphins, whale sharks, African wild dogs, and giraffe. Our GPUs have been running hot! Scaling up our computer vision pipeline will be a big focus of the second half of this record year. 🐬🦈🐕🦒

Earth is losing biodiversity at an unprecedented rate. Sadly, for most species, there isn't enough #data to know how many are left. Computer scientist Tanya Berger-Wolf @osubigdata will #takeoverNSF this Thursday at 11am EST to talk about how #AI is helping protect wild animals.

Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) we identify & count animals with photos & videos; listen for acoustic cues of whale vocalizations; & identify submerged cultural resources (i.e. shipwrecks) by analyzing seafloor microbial diversity. And this is just the beginning. #OceanScience
