Galapagoan Machine Learning

Sophia Cooke, Cambridge Conservation Initiative <sophiacooke18@gmail.com>

The residents of the Galapagos Islands could be more involved in conservation research, leading to educational and business opportunities, through using their mobile phone to interact with research data. Your client has field recordings of birdsong collected from the Islands, and your task is to use this to train machine learning tools that can identify species and bootstrap locally distinctive citizen science activities. You will need to provide cloud facilities for data management and analysis, as well as phone-based client software that allows the users to contribute to research activities in ways that bring them positive educational and economic benefits.
