The Computer Vision for Ecology program is organizing a 2-week remote workshop in May to teach AI methods to former US public sector scientists - Please consider sharing with your networks! We are also looking for volunteer instructors/mentors. Details here: cv4ecology.caltech.edu/ai-upskillin...

The AI for wildlife conservation community has been impacted by recent layoffs in the US public sector; many conservation scientists have reached out to AI practitioners for advice on building AI skills before re-entering the workforce.

Really exciting bioacoustic postdoc with @danstowell.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy

A standout moment from the #CVPR2024 Seattle musical performance!

🌍 From tracking salmon migrations to detecting urban forests, AI is unlocking new ways to protect biodiversity. But challenges remain. How do we ensure AI benefits all? Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnAO... @calconservation.bsky.social @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social #AI #Conservation #Biodiversity

Check out this awesome new AI challenge in deep sea biodiversity monitoring data πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

Really incredible work!! Can’t wait to test it out myself, as well as see what the #tech4wildlife and #naturetech communities do with this new #opensource #cameratrap tool!

I am incredibly excited to see our SpeciesNet model released!! This represents years of work by the @wildlifeinsights.bsky.social AI team (and completely impossible without the amazing Ștefan Istrate's AI development and implementation). Github: github.com/google/camer... Blog: bit.ly/4i5cKBs

Tune in Tuesday: Using #AI for #biodiversity + #conservation. Feat. Nathaniel Roth @calconservation.bsky.social, @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social Melissa Chapman @ucsb-nceas.bsky.social, Bistra Dilkina @usc.edu, and Kumar Mainali @chesconserv.bsky.social. πŸ”— us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi... #scipol

Come join us starting now!! @timm.haucke.xyz and I will be walking through end-to-end species identification and occupancy monitoring in camera trap data, all in python! We will be featuring the newly released Wildlife Insights and Google SpeciesNet model πŸ₯³πŸ₯³ Register here: bit.ly/4dbtALA

@fgvcworkshop.bsky.social submission deadline extended to this Friday!!

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

New in Nature: A review of the potential for AI to address the biodiversity crisis, filling knowledge gaps that require complex assessment of media, text, DNA, and more. Featuring author @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social. Read in @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social: www.nature.com/articles/s44... #science

Looking forward to this!! @timm.haucke.xyz and I will be working through our new end-to-end pipeline that identifies species in camera traps with AI and models their occupancy, entirely in python (πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³)

Looking forward to taking part in this Women in Data Science event next Friday, March 7th! More info and registration here: widscambridge.org

On Thu, Feb 20 @ 11am ET, join us for a virtual science seminar with @mitofficial.bsky.social's @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social: AI-enabled Scientific Discovery in Image Collections. Free + open to all. #ecology #images #ArtificialIntelligence Register: www.eventbrite.com/e/ai-enabled...

"We propose an alternative lightweight computer vision method for fish counting based on analyzing echograms" Make everything a computer vision problem πŸ˜† Cool study from @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social et al. Might be more broadly applicable to PAM and acoustic behavior? #prattle πŸ’¬ #bioacoustics

Honored to welcome @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social , Professor at MIT specializing AI for Conservation, as a virtual featured guest at AI for Animals 2025, March 1-2 in Berkeley. πŸ‘ 🎟 Early bird ticket deadline is January 15. Grab your tickets today: aiforanimals.org/aia2025

FGVC12 Workshop accepted to CVPR 2025, Nashville! CALL FOR PAPERS: sites.google.com/view/fgvc12/... We discuss domains where expert knowledge is typically required and investigate artificial systems that can efficiently distinguish a large number of very similar visual concepts. #CVPR #CVPR2025 #AI
