Dr Alpan Raval, our Head of Data Science, gave a talk about our work and AI for social good at the Machine Learning for the Developing World workshop at NeurIPS 2019 in Vancouver, Canada. #neurips2019
#Digital ecosystems are rapidly emerging throughout the African agri-food system, offering smallholder #farmers, consumers & businesses #data, tools & services that did not exist a decade ago. Read @Agrilinks on policy, regulation & digital ag in Africa https://t.co/iIvokZRj8X
Loved this #ProductManager applicant letter 1) Does not dress up experience as #ProductManagement. Many candidates do! 2) Stated a learning plan with substance that shows how earnest his aspiration is. Most candidates don't! PS: @WadhwaniAI is hiring PMs for #AI for social good!
#MachineLearning for clinical decision-making: pay attention to what you don’t see: "Whether conducting health care research or reading about it, make sure to consider *what you don’t see* in the data and analyses."

A #data-driven early warning system analyzes environmental conditions for potential disease development in crucial #wheat-growing areas of Bangladesh & Brazil. More on how #digital tools are making it easier for farmers to prepare: https://t.co/JG13pOFSnV @CIMMYT#BigDataInAg
A user-centered approach & mentorship are key to going from collecting data to actionable data and unlocking the potential of connectivity solutions, in this case to empower healthcare staff and improve diagnostic service delivery in #Myanmar 🇲🇲

This paper "demonstrates the integration of land and soil health maps with socioeconomic datasets into an online, open-access platform called the Resilience Diagnostic and Decision Support Tool for Turkana County in Kenya" #agtech#aiforagri#aiforgood#aiforall#datascience
Land degradation impacts the health and livelihoods of roughly 1.5 billion people worldwide. A paper published by @ICRAF scientists reviews the use of an online tool that monitors land health status + helps make #sustainable decisions. Read more: https://t.co/2xezFcfD6d #BigData
Started blog series "Lessons for #AI Product Managers and Designers Solving Global Challenges." Lesson 1/6: User-centered? What about the beneficiaries, the choosers, and the payers?
