AI and Applying Machine Learning to Oceans Science

Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly transforming scientific analysis in various disciplines. This in-person session is led by Henry Sun, an undergraduate senior at Duke researching the use of generative AI to improve automated whale detection capabilities. This 1-hour session will cover foundational concepts in AI, examine and interpret different AI-based methods being applied towards various marine systems and research questions, and provide a brief demonstration of how to implement AI and machine learning-based approaches on a sample dataset. Slides and resources from the session will be made available afterwards.
