5 years ago @jchcov & @DrDavidLRoberts proposed a simple algorithm with 93% accuracy at identifying illegal #elephant #ivory on #eBay @PeerJCompSci https://t.co/zqlE2xlf0w but it appears from this recent study there has been little uptake by eBay with only 1-7% take down
One search away!
Web sales of #fish & fisheries commodities.
Can we tease apart the legal & sustainable trades from illegal trades in vulnerable species?
@DrDavidLRoberts did this for ivory - Why not fish? https://t.co/hLgxGMnEO3
Looking for funding & partners to run this study https://t.co/RxSvvjm33y
@ThePoorMouth @meredithgore @eBay At the end of the day @jchcov & I developed an algorithm that ids potentially illegal #elephant #ivory on #eBay with 93% accuracy... they weren't interested & in the only meeting I had with them it was obvious they hadn't even bothered to read the paper! https://t.co/zqlE2xlf0w
@simonehaysom @carljackmiller This is why in our 2015 paper on machine learning & #ivory https://t.co/zqlE2xlf0w we're v careful to say potentially illegal. We 2 former police officers who worked in this areas to id ivory & then id items they considered had enough evidence to warrant a detailed investigation
