Faces, Flukes, Fins, and Flanks - How Multispecies Re-ID Models are Transforming Our Approach to AI

Explore the groundbreaking advancements in multispecies re-identification (Re-ID) models and their impact on artificial intelligence in this 59-minute talk by Jason Holmberg and Lasha Otarashvili from Conservation X Labs. Delve into how these innovative models are revolutionizing our approach to AI by focusing on unique identifying features such as faces, flukes, fins, and flanks across various species. Learn about the implications of these developments for wildlife conservation, ecological research, and the broader field of computer vision. Gain insights into the challenges and opportunities presented by applying Re-ID models to diverse animal populations, and discover how this technology is bridging the gap between AI and biological sciences. Part of the "Decoding Communication in Nonhuman Species III" series co-hosted with Project CETI, this talk offers a fascinating look at the intersection of technology and nature conservation.
