In the LLM-science discussion, I see a common misconception that science is a thing you do and that writing about it is separate and can be automated. I’ve written over 300 scientific papers and can assure you that science writing can’t be separated from science doing. Why? 1/18

Bridging AI and ecology! Unveiling the power of #AI in analyzing larval fish behavior with amazing efficiency🐠🔬 Check out this innovating paper by Shir Bar et al. unlocking new facets of ecological studies #BehavioralEcology #InnovativeScience sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Here’s some wee 330 million year old crinoid ossicles that wonderfully illustrate their five-fold radial symmetry. Nature is awesome 🖤

It's already day 3 of #CV4Ecology2023!!! We're in full swing, with students digging into their data, designing their benchmarks, and planning initial model training experiments. Let's meet our amazing 2023 cohort!!

Check out more of the incredible people projects this year here cv4ecology.caltech.edu/students2023.h… #cv4ecology Resnick Sustainability Institute at Caltech

Week 1 (of 3) in the books at #CV4Ecology2023 ! We're working hard while still enjoying the California sunshine, and celebrating our wins as they come 😀!

Always thrilled seeing #coral studies in a journal like nature. Grateful for taking a part in this story lead by Coral Reef Lab

Justin Kay gave a phenomenal lecture at CV4Ecology Workshop today on rules of thumb to improve #ComputerVision results, including #hyperparameterTuning, #fineTuning, and more! 👏

Today, Eric Orenstein from FathomNet @MBARI chatted with our students about #ML opportunities that ocean sampling 🌊 provides, both from the #UAV perspective as well as from the side of using #ComputerVision to categorize/localize critters in images 🐟🪼🪸

Thrilled to share my first hierarchical model version! 🎉 In the image, a red deer was initially labeled as fallow deer but didn't quite meet the score threshold. It confidently ascended to the "cervid" category, gaining certainty. A leap forward in classification accuracy!🦌🔍

If you're sustainability-inclined 🌿and working on research that has real-world 🌎 impact and implementation challenges ⚠️, please consider submitting! So excited that this community is convening at #NeurIPS2023

Excited to share our #ICCV2023 work SAGA 📖, the first adversarial geometric attack 😈 on 3D meshes. SAGA fools autoencoders ▶️◀️ to change the geometry of the reconstructed shape! 😱 In collaboration with Tomer Stolik and Shai Avidan from TAU. stoliktomer.github.io/SAGA/ 🧵 1/7

The call for applications for the *winter* ❄️🌴 2025 CV4Ecology Workshop workshop at Caltech is now open! Join our 3-week course aimed to teach ecologists the skills and knowledge to use CV in their own research. Applications due March 22, 2024. cv4ecology.caltech.edu/call_for_appli…

The awesome CV4E workshop is back! If spending 3 weeks geeking about ecology and computer vision sounds great to you, consider applying! :)

We had enough people reach out with requests to submit applications late that we have decided to extend our submission deadline to this Monday, April 1! We look forward to seeing everyone's applications!! Application info here: cv4ecology.caltech.edu/call_for_appli…

A few more days to apply and join us for the coolest Computer Vision and Ecology geek camp ever.

The coral reef outside our lab is a playground. Who are the main microbial inhabitants and how microorganisms function in this ecosystem? Join Derya Akkaynak, PhD and us to find out

Online citizen science platforms like iNaturalist and Macaulay Library contain a wealth of images but are hard to search using text. We are looking for ideas so we can develop the next generation of AI models that can help users to better search these image collections.

Interested in a PhD or Masters at the intersection of AI and Ecology? This research area is growing rapidly, and it can be hard to figure out which research groups where are doing what! Come join our infosession to hear from PIs worldwide about their research and goals!!
