OD44B:
Machine Learning in Biological Oceanography I Posters


Session ID#: 28080

Session Description:
Recent technological advances in instrumentation and computing have allowed scientists across all disciplines to collect an unprecedented amount of data. Biological oceanographers in particular are now faced with vast datasets that stymie traditional analysis methods. Scientists are increasingly leveraging machine learning (ML) techniques to process and analyze these information rich datasets. ML algorithms are designed to learn from one dataset to make accurate predictions about a new, independent one. While specific application domains might be quite different, the ML approaches used for analysis are often very similar. This session therefore aims to (1) identify new ML methods or applications, (2) examine overlap in disciplines applying similar ML techniques, (3) facilitate discussion and interdisciplinary collaborations among ML practitioners in the ocean science community, and (4) identify gaps and specific needs for oceanographers using ML. The session chairs welcome any submission detailing work on ML methods for ecological data analysis and inference in aquatic systems. The session is intended to have a broad scope and we invite abstracts from diverse fields such as imaging, acoustics, genomics, and modeling.
