Good morning everyone, meet Christopher Henry, Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Computer Science at the University of Winnipeg and one of our speakers at the upcoming NEXUS 2021 Data Science Conference! Dr. Henry’s work focuses on establishing theoretical frameworks for modeling human perception in applications that reproduce the human ability to make feature-based comparisons.
At NEXUS 2021, his talk titled “Public datasets and machine learning algorithms for applications in digital agriculture” will explore how millions of labeled RGB images are used in developing deep learning algorithms for Digital Ag. applications. Also, through the talk, you can discover new tech at EMILI!
