No, it's not.
> Liza Alert takes its name from 5-year-old Liza Fomkina. In 2010 Liza has died of hypothermia in the Russian wilderness after a 9 day unsuccessful search mission. The foundation was born less than 21 days after Liza's death.

Thank you for the correction, I always assumed it was named after Glinka.

No. The previous commenter is correct.
I'm actually a member of LA and I know the people who are running this project. So far has never read the article and I just know they're trying to automate image processing with ML.
I'm mostly involved with communications (e.g. radio, etc) and generally helping out with their missions if I can.
They asked if I knew drone pilots awhile back too.

Maybe we could organize a Reddit AMA? I don't know. I'm sitting in front of my office PC now, incidentally, after returning from a night lookout for a missing person.
All I can say, get as much sleep as you can, sleep deprivation is a bch.
EDIT: Apparently I was wrong.
