What we’re about
🖖 This virtual group is for data scientists, machine learning engineers, and open source enthusiasts.
Every month we’ll bring you two diverse speakers working at the cutting edge of data science, machine learning, AI and computer vision.
- Are you interested in speaking at a future Meetup?
- Is your company interested in sponsoring a Meetup?
- Contact the Meetup organizers!
This Meetup is sponsored by Voxel51, the lead maintainers of the open source FiftyOne computer vision toolset.

Are you looking for simpler and more accurate ways to perform common data curation and model evaluation tasks for your computer vision workflows?
Then this workshop with Harpreet Sahota is for you! In this 90 min hands-on workshop we’ll show you how to make use of FiftyOne’s panel and plugin framework to learn how to:
- Customize the FiftyOne App to work the way you want to work
- Quickly integrate FiftyOne with new models, datasets and MLOps tools
- Automate common data curation and model evaluation tasks
- Streamline your computer vision workflows with less code and more clicks
Whether you are a beginner or advanced user of FiftyOne, looking for how to get started with customizing the dozens of existing plugins or interested in creating your own, there will be something for you in this workshop!
Prerequisites
A working knowledge of Python and basic familiarity with FiftyOne. A
ll attendees will get access to the tutorials, videos, and code examples used in the workshop.

Is AI Creating a Whole New Earth-Aware Geospatial Stack? Promises and Challenges
The latest wave of AI innovation is profoundly changing many domains. In remote sensing, despite efforts like ours at Clay and others, it is been less so. In this talk we will share our experience as we realize, and explore, if geoAI represents a whole new stack to work with Earth data.
About the Speaker
Dr. Bruno Sanchez-Andrade Nuno is the executive director of the non-profit project Clay, an AI model for remote sensing. Previously, Bruno has had more than a decace of operational geosptatial system like director of the Planetary Computer at Microsoft, Big Data innovations at the World Bank, and Chief Scientist at Mapbox.
Evaluating the Satlas and Clay Remote Sensing Foundational Models
Geospatial and Earth Observation have benefited from the new advances in computer vision. In this talk we are going to evaluate the accuracy and ease of use for two of these great new models – the Satlas and Clay foundational models. The evaluation will look at distinct different areas on the globe. Come see how this gift of foundational models improves your work in geospatial or Earth observation analysis.
About the Speaker
Steve Pousty is a dad, partner, son, a founder, and a principal developer advocate at Voxel51. He can teach you about Computer Vision, Data Analysis, Java, Python, PostgreSQL, Microservices, and Kubernetes. He has deep expertise in GIS/Spatial, Remote Sensing, Statistics, and Ecology. Steve has a Ph.D. in Ecology and can be bribed with offers of bird watching or fly fishing.
Earth Monitoring for Everyone with Earth Index
Earth Index is a end user focused application that preprocesses global imagery through AI foundation models to enable rapid in-browser search and monitoring. Earth Genome builds Earth Index for critical applications in the environment, and is being used today to report on illegal airstrips built in the Peruvian Amazon, track cattle factory farms across the planet for emissions modeling, and expose illegal gold mining in the Yanomami Indigenous Territory
About the Speaker
Mikel Maron works on open technology for the earth. He leads product development and sets organizational pace at Earth Genome. Previously, Mikel led corporate social responsibility at Mapbox, elevated open mapping in the federal government as a Presidential Innovation Fellow, and founded community mapping initiatives notably Map Kibera through Ground Truth Initiative. He has a long association with the OpenStreetMap project, founding Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team in 2005 and serving many years on the OSM Foundation Board.
