One such danger is the loss of biodiversity, which threatens Earth\u2019s very foundations and is almost criminally underreported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to American biologist E.O. Wilson: \u201cIf all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insects play a critical role in virtually every ecosystem around the world. They are pollinators that ensure the endurance of plant life, food for animals and even plants, recyclers of dead waste, maintainers of soil health, and much more. So, given their incredible importance to our ecosystem, there is an urgent need to ascertain the rate at which insect populations are declining as a result of human activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo this point, we\u2019ve seen much less focus committed to protecting insects than other conservation efforts,\u201d explains Elaine van Ommen Kloeke, Naturalis. \u201cWhile all of these initiatives are important and worthy, it\u2019s critical that we better understand the changes, either positive or negative, that various insect species have experienced in recent years. That starts with being able to effectively track and identify as many as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prod.ucwe.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Naturalis_Biodiversity_Insect2.jpg?w=960\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-956312\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter Arise, a collaboration between Naturalis, the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics at the University of Amsterdam, the Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute, and the University of Twente. This initiative aims to enable recognition of any naturally occurring species in any location based on DNA, sensor and AI technology. Furthermore, it will collect biodiversity information related to all species from across the Netherlands into one place by 2030, after which a vast amount of data will become readily available with only a click. In doing so, the project will make it far easier for conservationists to track insect populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t always see or hear insects and there are so many species out there, so it\u2019s quite difficult to monitor them,\u201d says Dan Stowell, Naturalis. \u201cAnd without knowing where those populations are and their numbers, they\u2019re incredibly hard to protect. So, we\u2019ve been using machine learning to identify insects based on audio recordings. However, it\u2019s a work in progress. Automatic recognition of human speech took decades to become as good as it is, and for insects we need the accuracy of automatic identification to catch up as much as possible to make it ready for deployment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-exploring-different-machine-learning-options\">Exploring different machine learning options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With their expertise, available data, and AI knowledge, Naturalis was the perfect candidate for the 2023 Global Data Science Challenge (GDSC), a collaborative hackathon event hosted annually by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/au-en\/about-us\/technology-partners\/amazon-web-services\/\">ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ and powered by AWS<\/a> machine learning (ML) services, such as Amazon Sagemaker, wherein every employee throughout the company is given the opportunity to develop and harness their data and AI expertise to solve a real-world issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a global leader in data and AI, ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ has a responsibility to apply its expertise to real-world scenarios that can help create a more sustainable world and drive tangible benefits for our society,\u201dsaid Niraj Parihar, CEO of the ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ &amp; Data Global Business Line at ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ and Member of the Group Executive Committee<em>. <\/em>\u201cThrough our Global Data Science Challenge, we empower our team members to solve real world challenges of vital importance to us all. Insects play a central role in our ecosystem but are incredibly hard for humans to monitor. Listening to and identifying insect species is critical to preserving them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the event, more than 1500 participants formed over 400 teams, after which they were given the resources to develop and test their own solutions. By learning from five hours of recordings of 66 different insect species, each team attempted to build an AI that can identify which species could be heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery GDSC is a unique and exciting opportunity to see what different teams can do and the different ways they use the technology,\u201d says Eliza Robinet Duffo, AWS. \u201cThis year, we saw such a wide variety of different and successful solutions! Each of the top teams used a different approach and saw a great deal of success. It was one of our closest competitions and the prospects for the future are fantastic!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simplifying insect-focused conservation efforts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of the competition, there was an improvement in performance*(macro averaged F1-Score) from 76% to 92%. And while this was a potent step in and of itself, it does not represent the limit of what was accomplished. Following the GDSC\u2019s conclusion, the entirety of the results have been published, enabling other organizations and teams to pick up where the challenge has left off. Meanwhile, Naturalis, Arise, ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½, and AWS will continue to develop the winning solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prod.ucwe.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Naturalis_Biodiversity_Insect3.png?w=960\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-956314\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not looking to hoard this technology to ourselves. Preserving biodiversity has to be a widespread effort, so it\u2019s important to keep exploring multiple avenues,\u201d explains Van Ommen Kloeke. \u201cBy publicizing the result, we\u2019ll empower others to pick up those incredibly worthy solutions that didn\u2019t ultimately win. All of our top options had incredible potential and we look forward to seeing what others can do with machine learning to protect our insect populations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, the event has enabled Naturalis and other organizations to continue improving the effectiveness of machine learning when identifying insect recordings. In the future, this technology will be further developed so that it can be used to analyze naturalistic recordings that include all of the sounds of everyday life. This will empower biodiversity organizations to expand the capabilities of digital technology to support conservation efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou know, this was the biggest GDSC that we\u2019ve ever had in terms of participation,\u201d describes Parihar. \u201cThis just goes to show how much value people put in initiatives such as this. This challenge and its success is the next step towards a better future wherein insects are protected more effectively. That means going beyond the Netherlands and replicating the solution all over the globe!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n\t\t<section class=\"section
