This morning, we're hunting 👀 through #Yolov8 to gain intuition on navigating open source codebases, see common structures (i.e. folder structures, configs, preprocessing, evaluation), and see what would need to be tweaked to adapt to our data!

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 😀!

And we started the second week of our computer vision in ecology course CV4Ecology Workshop weeks with an interesting talk by Suzanne Stathatos about CV tasks, pytorch and architectures.

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 🐟🪼🪸

Epic first two weeks at Caltech’s CV4Ecology Workshop workshop! It’s been great to learn from the incredible set of instructors and see so many other cool projects students are working on 🐅🦜🌲Excited for the final week trying new #ML approaches on my #coralreef soundscape data🪸

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!🦌🔍

Time flies!! Tomorrow the #CV4Ecology2023 cohort present their projects after 3 weeks of hard work. It's been amazing to see how much these committed, passionate scientists have learned in the last few weeks, and we're so excited to see where these projects go in the future!

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…

IT'S HAPPENING!! The next CV4Ecology Workshop workshop will be held January 6-24, 2025 at Resnick Sustainability Institute at Caltech. Applications due March 22! See you there 😍

Just over one more week to get in your CV4Ecology Workshop applications!!

Only one week left to apply for the 3rd Computer Vision for Ecology Workshop at Caltech! Applications are due this Friday March 22nd: cv4ecology.caltech.edu/call_for_appli…

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…

Great article in Caltech Magazine about the CV4Ecology Workshop program! "It was really amazing to see how bridging gaps between disciplines provides an entirely new perspective" 💜💜💜 Can't wait for #CV4Ecology2025 next January! magazine.caltech.edu/post/what-comp…

We’re excited to share that we will be hosting half-day tutorial on Animal Re-Identification at CVPR! 🐅🐘🐄🦓🐳 When: June 12, 2025, 8:00–12:00 Where: Room 202 C, CVPR (hybrid format available!) Full Details & Program: sites.google.com/view/animal-re…
