Episode description

 | Original air April’24 | Season 5 Episode 11 Trailer | Dejan hosts Lianjie, Shivang, and Alex in the next Hewlett Packard Labs podcast. They discuss the ancient skill of animal tracking in Africa, and how it is being preserved and modernized with HPE technologies. They also share their experience of raising kids in Africa and living in the Bay Area.

Transcript

Hello, everyone. I would like to introduce you to the next week's full podcast, which will feature a spotlight on animal tracking. Here in studio, I have Shivang and Lianjie. Hello, Shivang! Hello Lianjie! And remotely, we have Alex in Africa. Alex, can you give us a quick summary what you will be talking about? I'm just very excited by this world. First project to create an app that allows us to digitize the ancient craft of animal tracking for the first time.

It's going to allow people who enjoy nature to go, to go into wilderness areas and be able to make sense of all the marks on the ground through this, this cutting edge technology with HPE. And how did you accomplish this? So in our system, we use machine learning technology to preprocess the image, including, removing the noise and the segmenting images to identify all the footprints. And if the images are already labeled, then we use them as training data in the future.

And if they are not, we're going to use them, store them as a backup. And then we use the machine learning, technology. We also use them to infer the species of the footprints. And then we use a, deep convolutional neural network science to do that. and we pre-trained a neural network on large public datasets. And then we also fine tune them using the footprints Alex has already collected. Shivang. This seems extremely complicated. Have you simplified it somehow? Yeah, I'll talk about.

We will talk about that in the podcast for sure. a key component of simplifying it is the system that we build around the whole, algorithm that Lianjie mentioned, right? Where we host the algorithm. Where are the images coming from? So I'll talk about the apps that are there and available for Android now, and the web apps and the backend system that we have. Thank you. Gentlemen, please join us. extremely interesting topic.

A great benefit to humanity preserving animal tracking and the art, thereof.
