#Day 7 of Deep Learning Indaba
Our Data Analyst, Toyib Ogunremi, presenting his work on "Geo-semantic surveillance and clustering of crime locations and social risk hotspots using print media reports", at the IRCAI - International Research Center on Artificial Intelligence under the auspices of UNESCO NAiXUS workshop.
Deep Learning Indaba Workshop Day 2
Currently at the IRCAI - International Research Center on Artificial Intelligence under the auspices of UNESCO's NAiXUS workshop on "Building a Global Network of AI Researchers on AI and the United Nations SDGs"
One standout insight came from the keynote speaker, Pelonomi Moiloa, who is also the founder of Lelapa AI.
She emphasized, "The true measure of a model's success lies in its acceptance within the community, regardless of the author's metrics."
Our sincere appreciation goes to all our speakers at the Geospatial Machine Learning Workshop at the Deep Learning Indaba 2023.
Thank you for generously sharing your time and expertise, and for playing a vital role in nurturing African talent.
Your invaluable contributions have been pivotal to the success of the workshop.

Today promises to be another fantastic opportunity to learn and uncover new ideas.
Here's a brief outline of today's schedule.
Taking the concluding tutorial is Abubakr Babiker, a Research Solution Engineer at Google Research.
His session will provide participants with practical insights into Geospatial Data analytics and modeling using Google Earth Engine.
Welcome back
The last session of @dsnai Geospatial Workshop has started.
This next discussion will be led by Alex Pompe, a Research Manager, Data for Good, Meta, guiding participants through the topic of "Data for Good Datasets," discussing their various types and applications.
Before we take a 30-minute coffee break, check out some pictures from last hands-on Tutorial in this session
The tutorial focuses on Mobility Data and African Geoportal Hands-on immersion and Geospatial/Mobility Dataset and use cases from Kenya, Senegal, and Nigeria and will be led by Pauline Okeyo, Senior Solution Engineer at Esri
The @dsnai Geospatial Workshop has been an illuminating experience so far.
Next on stage is our Founder and CEO, @bayo.adekanmbi, as he takes the discussion further.
He is introducing participants to Geo-Semantics/Toponyms Resolution.
