Our Discovery Mission

Our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to discover and document all remaining Australian species of plants, animals, fungi and other organisms ... in a generation.

​

How on Earth are we going to do this?

Roundtable 6: What new technologies (other than genetics and genomics) will we need to deploy for our mission?

Session 2

30 April 2020 at 3:30:00 am

Jane Melville

Leader(s):

New technologies are available now that can help in our mission, including machine learning, high-end imaging, supercomputing and more. This roundtable will consider issues around new technologies, including:

  • How exactly could machine learning be used in species discovery, delimitation and documentation?

  • What support structures do we need to be able to effectively use new imaging technologies?
