Research Highlight: Daniel Lee on Machine Learning, AI, and Robotics
Daniel Lee, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, focuses his research on machines learning directly from experience. Here, he discusses how building intelligent machines can help us to perform tasks that are dull, dirty, and dangerous.
Built at Cornell Tech



iNaturalist Species Suggestions
One of the world’s most popular nature apps, iNaturalist helps people around the world identify the plants and animals around them. Cornell Tech Professor Serge Belongie helped assemble and experiment on the app’s species classification and detection dataset using state-of-the-art computer vision classification and detection models.
Merlin Bird Photo ID
Merlin Bird Photo ID is a mobile app that uses machine learning and computer vision to identify more than 3,000 bird species it “sees” in photos. The app was developed by Caltech and Cornell Tech computer vision researchers in partnership with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and bird enthusiasts and is available on Android and iOS devices.
OpenRec
OpenRec is an open-source and modular library for deep-learning based recommendation algorithms. State of the art recommendation algorithms are increasingly complex and often address specific use cases. OpenRec provides a modular architecture to adapt, extend, and compare algorithms across heterogeneous scenarios.
