Expertise
Machine Learning • Signal Processing • Python Data Analysis Programming • Cloud Computing • Statistics
My job is to design and apply machine learning, including deep neural network algorithms, to detect and classify sound events in the ever-increasing recorded sound under the water and in the rainforest. My goal is to comprehend the animals and the environment through sound and other types of signals, such as photos of animals.
