If anyone ever approaches @WildMeORG about colugo photo ID, I'm pretty sure the automatic answer is "Yes!"

I am so happy that @WildMeORG CV guru @bluemellophone (Dr. Jason Parham) was able to join @cv4ecology summer school. What a great program that I hope continues into the future!
I'm so in awe of the amazing group of instructors that have joined me in leading the @cv4ecology course. Every single one of them has brought so much knowledge, intuition, patience, and empathy to teaching ecology researchers hands-on, practical #ComputerVision

I'm going to try to keep a dream journal using DALL-E to render my descriptions. Here is me two nights ago trying to tell people in a strange, dark city not to pet the two rattlesnakes that were following me around.

I love it when machine learning finds something the human eye probably would have missed. Several years into this journey with modern ML, we still have to regularly reset our expectations on what it is capable of.
How many leopards can you spot in the first photo? ACW's excellent machine learning detector found BOTH leopards in this pic! Thanks to @CCFCheetah for sharing this great example of the power of African Carnivore Wildbook! #pantherapardus #wildbook #computervision #conservation

Dear @khanacademy, have you ever tried parenting a 6th grader who can raise an army of the dead? The Math is fun and engaging, but I'm sending you the zombie removal bill.

Taika being too real about writing here 🥲
African wild dogs never stop amazing. Really great justification for @ACWildbook as well, demonstrating the need for long-term population monitoring across borders and data sets.
Animals move, but some move more than others. This is an incredible story about one on the widest-ranging species on the planet - via @NYTimes nytimes.com/2022/06/20/scien…
