"I counted all of the yurts in Mongolia using machine learning"

It's not wrong, but possibly ambiguous, and I'd bet an English teacher would prefer it was phrased differently. In speech, I wouldn't bat an eye at that arrangement. But, if I were to write the headline, it would have been...

"I used machine learning to count all the yurts in Mongolia."




good one.

or even just add a comma at the right place:

"I counted all of the yurts in Mongolia, using machine learning"
