Submission deadline: December 15th, 2019
Introduction
We're excited to present our animal re-identification workshop for WACV2020. Animal re-identification is a technique used to answer many fundamental ecological hypotheses related to animal behavior and population dynamics. We believe the use of machine learning methods can aid and inspire fundamental research questions as well as open up the possibilities for hypotheses previously too difficult to test. We hope to keep our focus broad, but inclusive, so that everyone feels empowered to promote solutions to ecological questions. We highly encourage submissions which make their data publicly available
Example Topics
Topics that are anticipated, but are not required, include:
- Machine Learning for Human/Animal Re-Identification
- Vocal Recognition for Re-Identification
- Human/Animal Pose Estimation
- Behaviour Analysis from Audio/Video
- Data Augmentation for Limited Datasets
- Learning from Simulated Data
- Metric Learning
- One-Shot/ Zero-Shot Learning
- GPS Location Prediction
- Interpretability of AI Systems
- Public Ecological Datasets
- Best Practices for Data Collection and Curation
Call for Papers
We invite submissions of short papers using machine learning to address problems in image, video, and audio re-identification. We are interested in bringing the ecological and computer vision communities together, centered around research involving deep learning methods for animal re-identification applications. We would like to encourage contributors from the machine learning community to present cutting edge research relevant to animal re-identification, whether image, video, or audio processing. We would also encourage ecologists with limited to no machine learning expertise to come and discuss their ecological research problems in an attempt to brainstorm how machine learning may be of assistance. In addition, we welcome everyone in between.
