Day 6. Saturday, we went to the Nairobi National Park for a safari day. It seems like we forgot about computer vision and images for a day, but did we ? Somehow, everyone kept taking pictures. Don't worry, more lectures are coming up very soon😉 #ACVSS

Got an opportunity to visit the new African Computer Mission Summer School @ACVSS_AI. Congratulations to all the organisers and participants. Great seeing @Abebab @DMachuve @bonjora @mphogo_dinorego and so many more friends in the AfricanAI ecosystem.

Day 3. Today, we had the privilege of learning from @Abebab about the rise of AI and Computer Vision in surveillance. An exciting lecture with multiple workshops that challenged us to consider our own decisions regarding AI applications. #ACVSS

Day 4. Yet another great speaker. Big thanks to Karteek Alahari @inthebrownbag for lecturing on visual representation learning. So much knowledge was packed into a single lecture covering from incremental and multitask learning, all the way to continual learning. #ACVSS
