Explore an end-to-end AI application with the goal of creating a likelihood map for dinosaur bone beds to help guide your next dinosaur hunt. Use machine learning algorithms, powered by oneAPI, such as Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn*, NumPy, and Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit as part of this AI dinosaur adventure.

First use Intel Extension for Scikit-learn to preprocess metadata and experiment with semi-supervised learning and clustering techniques on known dinosaur bone beds.

Then apply metadata labeling to aerial photos that are fed to a convolutional neural network. Use the Intel® oneAPI Deep Neural Network Library to classify the aerial images.

Finally, use Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit to streamline the inference capability on Intel® CPUs. They process thousands of images and create a bone likelihood map that can be applied to other regions of the globe than the one they were initially trained on.

Note Since dinosaur bones on US Federal lands are protected, the actual map is blurred.
