I developed an app that uses drone footage to track plastic litter on beaches

Robohub

Plastic pollution is one of those problems everyone can see, yet few know how to tackle it effectively. I grew up walking the beaches around Tramore in County Waterford, Ireland, where plastic debris has always been part of the coastline, including bottles, fragments of fishing gear and food packaging. According to the UN, every year 19-23 million tonnes of plastic lands up in lakes, rivers and seas, and it has a huge impact on ecosystems, creating pollution and damaging animal habitats. Community groups do tremendous work cleaning these beaches, but they're essentially walking blind, guessing where plastic accumulates, missing hot spots, repeating the same stretches while problem areas may go untouched. Years later, working in marine robotics at the University of Limerick, I began developing tools to support marine clean-up and help communities find plastic pollution along our coastline.


Dog walkers find 2,000-year-old footprints on beach in Scotland

Popular Science

The Iron Age human and animal footprints were preserved before high winds destroyed them. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Two friends out walking their dogs along the eastern coast of Scotland unexpectedly found an archaeological goldmine . After wind gusts as strong as 55 mph blew away sand on the dunes of a beach near Angus, Ivor Campbell and Jenny Snedden (along with their pooches Ziggy and Juno) spotted the unique indentations in a layer of long-dried clay. The pair contacted a local archaeologist, and researchers from the University of Aberdeen quickly descended on the picturesque seaside locale to preserve the discoveries.

Neural Information Processing Systems

We expand Eq. 10 as: q There are three KL divergence terms in our training objective ELBO (Eq. Medium and Y elp Large datasets, we follow (Guu et al., 2018) to use a three-layer attentional LSTM Skip connections are also used between adjacent LSTM layers. We apply annealing and free-bits techniques following (Li et al., 2019) to the KL term on prototype variable, As in Section 4.3, here we show more generated examples through interpolation on MSCOCO dataset.
