Camera trapping is increasingly used to monitor wildlife, but this technology typically requires extensive data annotation. Recently, deep learning has significantly advanced automatic wildlife recognition. However, current methods are hampered by a dependence on large static data sets when wildlife data is intrinsically dynamic and involves long-tailed distributions. These two drawbacks can be overcome through a hybrid combination of machine learning and humans in the loop. Our proposed… Expand

ImageNet: A large-scale hierarchical image database
TLDR
A new database called “ImageNet” is introduced, a large-scale ontology of images built upon the backbone of the WordNet structure, much larger in scale and diversity and much more accurate than the current image datasets. Expand

What Should Not Be Contrastive in Contrastive Learning
TLDR
This work introduces a contrastive learning framework which does not require prior knowledge of specific, task-dependent invariances, and learns to capture varying and invariant factors for visual representations by constructing separate embedding spaces, each of which is invariant to all but one augmentation.

"How many images do I need?" Understanding how sample size per class affects deep learning model performance metrics for balanced designs in autonomous wildlife monitoring
TLDR
The issues of deep learning model performance for progressively increasing per class (species) sample sizes are explored and generalizes additive models (GAM) are shown to be effective in modelling DL performance metrics based on the number of training images per class, tuning scheme and dataset.

A Simple Framework for Contrastive Learning of Visual Representations
TLDR
It is shown that composition of data augmentations plays a critical role in defining effective predictive tasks, and introducing a learnable nonlinear transformation between the representation and the contrastive loss substantially improves the quality of the learned representations, and contrastive learning benefits from larger batch sizes and more training steps compared to supervised learning.

An empirical evaluation of camera trap study design: How many, how long and when?
ABSTRACT 1. Camera traps deployed in grids or stratified random designs are a well-established survey tool for wildlife but there has been little evaluation of study design parameters. 2. We used… Expand

Energy-based Out-of-distribution Detection
TLDR
This work proposes a unified framework for OOD detection that uses an energy score, and shows that energy scores better distinguish in- and out-of-distribution samples than the traditional approach using the softmax scores. Expand
Improving the accessibility and transferability of machine learning algorithms for identification of animals in camera trap images: MLWIC2
TLDR
By including many species from several locations, the species model is potentially applicable to many camera trap studies in North America and the empty-animal model can facilitate removal of images without animals globally. Expand
