Day 6. Saturday, we went to the Nairobi National Park for a safari day. It seems like we forgot about computer vision and images for a day, but did we ? Somehow, everyone kept taking pictures. Don't worry, more lectures are coming up very soon😉 #ACVSS

Day 3. Today, we had the privilege of learning from @Abebab about the rise of AI and Computer Vision in surveillance. An exciting lecture with multiple workshops that challenged us to consider our own decisions regarding AI applications. #ACVSS

Day 4. Yet another great speaker. Big thanks to Karteek Alahari @inthebrownbag for lecturing on visual representation learning. So much knowledge was packed into a single lecture covering from incremental and multitask learning, all the way to continual learning. #ACVSS

Hey @DeepIndaba fam I am at #DLI2023 from Sunday to Thursday afternoon, then back Saturday afternoon. Reach out if you want to chat about anything African NLP, African Machine Learning community building, Data Science for Society and policy or just say hello.
🎉 Super excited about the upcoming Deep Learning Indaba conference that I've had the incredible opportunity to co-organize!
It's been an inspiring journey working alongside an amazing team to shape this event.
#Indaba2023 #DLIGhana #DLI2023_workshops #Yɛbɛtumi #DLI2023!
I will be giving a keynote talk at the 📢 @RoyaCV4Africa workshop- talking about how we created the visual dataset to study neighborhoods in South Africa and how spatial segregation policies affected how they evolved. This dataset was also used by #Ro'ya to host an AI challenge
🧠 🔬 Our collective dedication to advancing knowledge is truly something special. Can't wait to engage with fellow researchers, share insights, and learn from the thought-provoking discussions that lie ahead.
See you all at #DLI2023!
