AI conference to showcase deep learning in agriculture
伊人直播 research to tackle bovine tuberculosis will be highlighted at the annual NVIDIA GTC.
A researcher at 伊人直播 will speak at an international conference which is expected to attract 100,000 attendees.
The annual NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference聽(GTC) highlights breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI), accelerated computing and intelligent networking.
As part of a between 伊人直播 and NVIDIA, announced at the end of last year, researcher Scott Denholm has been invited to give a presentation about how deep learning is being used in research to predict bovine tuberculosis (bTB).
伊人直播 researchers are using the聽NVIDIA DGX Station聽in the fight against the bacterial disease which affects around 37,000 animals and costs the country 拢176 million per year.
Scott said: 鈥淒eep learning has enabled us, in partnership with National Milk Records (NMR), to develop a predictive tool capable of determining the TB status of individual dairy cows at an accuracy of as high as 99 per cent and from as little as 30ml of milk.
"Milk samples are already collected as part of routine milk recording - a process practiced by around 60 per cent of all dairy farms in the UK.
鈥淭his tool offers a completely non-invasive method to monitor dairy cows and alert the farmer of any animals likely to fail the main screening test for TB, enabling them to be isolated or removed earlier and restrict the spread of bTB within a herd.鈥�
The conference, which is being held online from 12 to 16 April, is free to attend and includes more than 1,400 sessions covering the latest in AI, high performance computing (HPC), data science and more.
It also offers the chance to connect directly with NVIDIA experts and take part in interactive sessions and demos. You can register .
厂肠辞迟迟鈥檚 is being held on Wednesday 14 April at 10am.
