Advanced analytic techniques like machine learning will be vital to rapid and accurate review of increasingly high volumes of EM video data. Supported by the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation and in partnership with Archipelago Marine Research and the Alaska fixed-gear program, Hawaii-based AI.fish has successfully developed a cloud-based, API-driven, commercially available machine learning service that anyone can use to analyze large video data-sets. Note: This interview was recorded in 2022, so references to “this year” and “next year’ refer to 2022 and 2023 respectively.
