About Me
Jacob Kamminga completed his Ph.D. in animal activity recognition at the University of Twente in 2020. He used machine learning models as activity classifiers to recognize various activities of animals using motion data on resource-constrained devices (edge-AI). Currently, he is studying active learning and human-in-the-loop AI training. Furthermore, he is interested in unsupervised representation learning to exploit unlabeled data. Other areas of his expertise are data acquisition, processing, and annotation.
Since 2021 Jacob has been the digital species identification team leader within the ARISE biodiversity project. The digital species identification team builds services that support developing and deploying AI algorithms that detect and identify species from various digital media such as sound, images, and radar.
