Congrats! How well does the model perform in long-tail classes of animals? (not referring to the animals’ actual tails, rather to the class distribution 😛)

Lots of technical details and evaluation on this and other challenges (small animals, for example) in our paper on the model: https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1049/cvi2.12318

Thanks! I will have a look.

I truly believe the release of this model will be a transition point for the camera trap community in terms of the open, flexible, scalable use of AI. Read more about the details of SpeciesNet in our paper: https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1049/cvi2.12318

With more than 2K species in the model this represents a great first step towards generally useful open-source AI for camera traps, and is only possible via the
@wildlifeinsights.bsky.social community who collected and labeled their data around the world 💚💙

.... hi Sara, do any of those projects have a good microphone? There's some areas with very poor coverage soundwise on that map.

sarameghanbeery.bsky.social•26 days ago

They might, but not that would be accessible through Wildlife Insights right now. You can look up the projects in the data explorer too see which groups are managing them and possibly reach out directly?

...hmmm, had a quick look, but could not see an easily available way of checking for camera type, which I suppose would narrow the search. In any case, if there are sounds, it seems like a waste of good perfectly good data if they are not used in some way.

I agree!
