@aeracoop @dronecoria Thanks! Add an issue here: github.com/weecology/Mill…

@ben_weinstein @dronecoria Yes, I have orthomosaics with new trees. How I send to you?

@dronecoria We are working on an open machine learning benchmark dataset for tree detection. Do you have orthomosaics we can annotate for newly planted trees? milliontrees.idtrees.org

@aeracoop @dronecoria Check out milliontrees.org and the repo here github.com/weecology/Mill…, sorry my notifications were turned off!

@_LXAI I'm brainstorming ways to fund a machine learning workshop for environment monitoring in either Medellin, CO or Cuenca, EC. Ideas on partners to engage? #DeepForest #AI4good

@jeff_weinstein I think the key sentence for me, "We appreciate your understanding on this as this has never happened before" timeanddate.com/eclipse/list-t…

there's a lot of deeply bad/sad/mad news right now, so if you need one minutes of a bit of a bright spot, like i do at the moment... then here's the 10/10 email my brother just got for how his kid's youth soccer league is handling the upcoming total annular eclipse. enjoy:

Can anyone explain the rules for buying @FCNordsjaelland tickets (for September 16th). Website just says, "for people who have previously purchased". Is there no public ticket sale online?

Any scientists in #PDXAirport?PaperReadingPartyAtC15 for a couple hours. #MachineLearning #Ecology #Science

Tree Detection arcg.is/0yLem5 @LivingAtlas @ArcGISDevs does anyone have information about this? I am the developer of the prior tool. This was the first i've heard of it.

ArcGIS has adopted deepforest as a pretrained tree detection model! esri.com/arcgis-blog/pr…

@shiorisagawa Interesting! Why the connection between data augmentation and unsupervised learning? Working on airborne HSI tree classification. Poor generalization across space/time. Hoping to use massive unlabeled sets (millions of samples). Not worth it? idtrees.org

We’ll be presenting WILDS v2.0 as an oral at ICLR! We extended the WILDS benchmark of real-world shifts by adding unlabeled data, which can be used for domain adaptation and representation learning. Talk + poster: iclr.cc/virtual/2022/o… Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2112.05090 🧵

@weecology just put in a grant for a @Wingtra GEN II drone! (#drones4good) Here are some shots from our GEN I aircraft from this week's surveys. Courtesy of L. Garner.

Automated bird detector paper accepted at @ESAApplications. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Lots of great drone work going on for ecological monitoring. Here is a shot from our #drones4good everglades monitoring from this week. youtu.be/oigOURRXTWo

@weecology field season is underway with everglades bird surveys and testing out our @Wingtra. #dronesforgood

Countdown to #EarthDay with some #dronesforgood fun. Spot the field researchers amongst hundreds of nesting everglades birds.

Does google have an object detection API for street view? Why not? @TimSwast. What if I wanted to find all predicted utility poles in Portland for weak labeling.

Beautiful new video from our great field team for our AI monitoring project of south florida wading birds. Releasing our bird detection model sometime this spring. youtu.be/BYcOC2D4hEg

Anyone have demonstrated evidence of @Wingtra drones ability to handle 10-20mph ground speed winds during mapping? Looking for a fixed-wing in windy conditions. #drones

@ramblemaps Ecuador please!

@HamedAlemo looking forward to your talk on GAN for satellite data synthesis. I'm brainstorming HSI augmentation strategies for my tree classification work, is there a paper I can look at? Super imbalanced data, oversampling not doing it.
