In a recent Talking Data podcast guest Kristen Khan of NOAA said she and her colleagues have watched the growth of machine learning projects that identify images. They have wondered: If such analytical algorithms could trim time from what is now a very labor intensive whale identification task, could that free up staff for more proactive efforts to save the whales? A contest sponsored by MathWorks is trying to find the answer. Listen here.
