Juan Sebastián Cañas Silva
Instituto Humboldt. Colombia
I’m a researcher at the Humboldt Institute in Colombia and a collaborating researcher at the Mila-Quebec AI Institute. I work on machine learning for ecological problems, living between Audiomoths and Moths. Specifically, I work on ecoacoustics and bioacoustics in different groups such as amphibians, bats, birds, insects, and the soundscape. Recently, I started to work on computer vision for automated monitoring of insects. Previously, I was an undergraduate student at the National University of Colombia in the Mathematics Department working with Prof. Francisco Gómez where I worked on interpretability in healthcare and diverse problems in policy.
