Prof. Ankita Shukla’s AI model identifying frog species helps multi-institutional academic team win global biodiversity contest

When frogs in the rainforest go “ribbit,” Ankita Shukla listens.
The Computer Science & Engineering assistant professor developed an artificial intelligence (AI) learning model that can identify different frog species in the Brazilian rainforest by the sounds they make. This work helped Limelight Rainforest, a multi-institutional academic team, win the $10 million XPRIZE Rainforest competition in November.
“It was amazing,” Shukla said, regarding the win. “It felt great to see the dedication and hard work the team put in getting recognized. Personally, I find it very motivating to work on developing AI-based solutions that could assist in eco-conservation efforts.”
