Using machine learning, Rutgers researchers develop a “probability map” from databases that combines whale monitoring and environmental data Researchers at Rutgers University-New Brunswick have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that will help predict endangered whale habitat, guiding ships along the Atlantic coast to avoid them. The tool is designed to prevent deadly accidents and […]
