Nils Leusmann, M.Sc.
BMFTR-Project INDIFUN-AI
As part of the BMFTR project INDIFUN-AI, I am collaborating with an interdisciplinary team to develop an AI-based system for biodiversity monitoring in the Arctic Ocean. My research focuses on self-assessment routines for online algorithms applied to domain-specific data, particularly plankton data. The idea is to train ML algorithms on the data provided, predict the values of health indicators, while simultaneously predict their meaningfulness.
