Parley 'SnotBot' expedition brings machine learning and artificial intelligence to whale research - IT Peer Network

In more than five years with Intel Labs, I've had the good fortune to be involved with a team of extremely bright people focused on researching large-scale machine learning and data mining techniques. And now a great job is about to get even better, as I head out to sea this week with a team from Intel Labs and a collaborative team of ocean experts to put the same techniques to work to study the health and wellbeing of humpback whales. This expedition builds on our ongoing work with Parley for the Oceans, a group dedicated to advancing research and education focused on conserving whales and the oceans that sustain them. In early June, we highlighted some of the great work that Parley is doing in our blog on Parley'SnotBot' and Intel AI Technology. This week's Parley SnotBot expedition, parts of which will be captured live by National Geographic, will build on the work being done by the Mind's Eye Lab, a research initiative arising out of a collaboration between Intel Labs and the Princeton Neuroscience Institute.
