At 4:30 I will be discussing gaps between benchmarks and deployment in Room 238 - 239 as part of the @CompSustNet workshop!
🚨🌿Our #NeurIPS2023 workshop is in one week, and our introduction of speakers continues!
🎙️✨ Next up: @sarameghanbeery! We are so excited to hear her talk about Computer Vision for Ecology!

From my talk at the @CompSustNet NeurIPS workshop: The importance of impact-driven innovation in addition to methods-driven innovation.
This paradigm of research is essential in AI for climate and biodiversity - and it also leads to groundbreaking new algorithms.

ALT A slide entitled "Paradigms for ML innovation" with the following text. Typical paradigm: - Use stereotyped benchmark datasets - Measure success solely by classification accuracy, test loss, etc. - Problem-agnostic techniques + large amounts of training / fine-tuning data - Bigger models generally better Impact-guided innovation - Use data from real problems - Measure success based on how algorithm will be used in practice (e.g. speed, robustness, interpretability) - Leverage additional information wherever possible - Incorporate constraints - Build smarter, not (just) bigger - Collaboration with domain experts in framing problems, designing algorithms, and preparing pathway to deployment

Tomorrow I'm giving a Spotlight Talk at the @CompSustNet workshop at #NeurIPS2023 about our work on domain adaptation for scalable automated fisheries monitoring. Would love to chat with anyone working on (or interested in) ML for conservation, sustainability, and climate!
