Whale Identification and Conservation Challenges

The video discusses the use of deep learning algorithms to aid in the conservation of endangered whales, specifically the North Atlantic right whales. It highlights the challenges faced in identifying individual whales due to their similar appearances and the innovative solution developed by DeepSense.io, which uses deep learning to recognize whale faces. The video also emphasizes the broader potential of deep learning in solving various problems across different fields and invites viewers to learn more about the technical details of the project.
