campac | 4 years ago | on: Join the challenge to detect our footprint on Earth

Let´s uncover our footprint on our planet together with the European Space Agency!

Sign up: https://connect.fruitpunch.ai/events/63590

Space is coming to us in the form of Observation Image Data, and we will be using this data to detect the human impact on Earth!

We will be using CNNs, Anomaly detection & Contrastive learning to detect: Wildfires and Deforestation Marine Litter and Melting Glaciers Air quality detection & Novel animal migration patterns and much more!

We call upon you to join a team of international engineers and make a real-world difference, by developing algorithms that will be used by ESA to automatically detect human-caused changes to aid in the prevention of potential further damage.

Until Mars is habitable, it is our collective duty to protect the beautiful planet we call home.

The challenge will run from the 1st of September until the 29th of October!

And on the 3rd of August ESA personnel will give an info session about their research so far and the goal of this challenge, join here: https://connect.fruitpunch.ai/events/63590

Exactly same experience on our end.

On AWS: fast, close to our needs and all setup in days. After our one year program cam to an end we still had around 50k in credits. One email asking if they could extend for one or two months, they extended for 6. We also messed up the last month as we did not setup any limits and spend more than 17k in cloud computing - they offered us an 80% discount!

On GCP: We got accepted very fast (2 days). But we struggled for 2 months to get GPU quota. The communication is not fluid and we were pointed from sales rep to support to sales rep.

Also from the management perspective (but this is purely my opinion), GCP is a labyrinth. You need a phd in GCP to setup your users with permissions. And i still could not figure out how to create good usage reports out of it.
