Hosted on the Kaggle platform, the Right Whale Recognition competition challenged teams from around the world to develop ways to identify individual North Atlantic right whales (whose population has dropped to less than 450), based on aerial survey photographs.

Robert will discuss the deepsense.io team’s convolutional neural network-based solution which beat out entries from 363 other teams.
The talk will be held today (April 6) at 10:30 a.m. in Room 210H of the San Jose Marriott, at 301 S. Market St., San Jose, CA 95113.

“This presentation will give us the opportunity to present one of our machine learning team’s biggest accomplishments to a broader audience. We are experiencing rapid growth in the field of deep learning and look forward to sharing our experiences with other members of the data science community,” said Robert Bogucki.
“Our team has numerous other accomplishments in machine learning and deep learning, including placing sixth-overall in last year’s Kaggle competition for classifying the severity of diabetic retinopathy in images of retinas, or our most recent victory in the AAIA’16 Data Mining Challenge for predicting seismic events in coal mines. We are very pleased that we are being recognized by the Conference’s organizers and have the opportunity to inspire others with our work.”
