For those of you working on image detection systems of whatever kind, I highly recommend the YouTube series Learning to See by WelchLabs.
It presents truely beautiful visual explanation of how machine learning has developed and the computational issues with algorithmic image recognition, using the simple example of recognising the number of fingers being held up to camera.
Enjoy!

Ah! Thanks for posting this Tom. It's such a well designed, simple to understand video series, and the backing track is utterly delightful.
Given the growing applications of machine learning for conservation, I've been wondering if a 'machine learning 101 for conservation' webinar or article might be a worthwhile resource to look into for our community. In looking for a link to put in here to a UCL course I know exists on this topic, I actually just came across this article: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO MACHINE LEARNING IN ECOLOGY. Seems that Jon Lefcheck had the same thought as me and got right down to it.
If you're interested in more introductory, practical resources on machine learning, do let me know below! Also, if you know of any other go to tutorials that you've found useful, please share them.
