Recipient of the fully funded Google DeepMind Scholarship for the MSc Artificial Intelligence at Queen Mary University of London.
“The DeepMind Scholarship means all to me. Without it, I would never have been able to experience studying abroad in the UK at such a prestigious university. The scholarship represents hope for academic learners like me who wish to pursue further studies. Getting this scholarship is inspiring considering that I am from Mauritius, a small African island in the Indian Ocean and this recognition truly humbles me.”
This paper describes a fruit fly identification system using Deep Learning. The system is deployed on a mobile application. The main usage of such application is to identify and counteract against fruit flies that cause harm to agriculture and the economy.
