• Title: Enhancing Understanding Through Wildlife Re-Identification
• Authors: J. Buitenhuis,
• Abstract summary: We analyze the performance of multiple models on multiple datasets. We find that the usage of metrics trained for classification, then removing the output layer and using the second last layer as an embedding was not a successful strategy for learning. The DCNNS performed well on some datasets but poorly on others, which did not align with findings in previous literature. The LightGBM overfitted too heavily and was not significantly better than a constant model when trained and evaluated on all pairs using accuracy as a metric.

• Abstract: We explore the field of wildlife re-identification by implementing an MLP from scratch using NumPy, A DCNN using Keras, and a binary classifier with LightGBM for the purpose of learning for an assignment. Analyzing the performance of multiple models on multiple datasets. We attempt to replicate prior research in metric learning for wildlife re-identification. Firstly, we find that the usage of MLPs trained for classification, then removing the output layer and using the second last layer as an embedding was not a successful strategy for similar learning; it seems like losses designed for embeddings such as triplet loss are required. The DCNNS performed well on some datasets but poorly on others, which did not align with findings in previous literature. The LightGBM classifier overfitted too heavily and was not significantly better than a constant model when trained and evaluated on all pairs using accuracy as a metric. The technical implementations used seem to match standards according to comparisons with documentation examples and good results on certain datasets. However, there is still more to explore in regards to being able to fully recreate past literature.

  Deep learning has significantly improved the accuracy of crop classification using multispectral temporal data. In low-resource situations with fewer labeled samples, deep learning models perform poorly due to insufficient data. We propose a non-training alternative to deep learning models, aiming to address these situations.

  In this work, we introduce a generalized approach that first relabels subsegments of MEL spectrogram representations. For both the binary pre-sorting and the classification, we make use of convolutional neural networks (CNN) and various data-augmentation techniques. We showcase the results of this approach on the challenging textitComparE 2021 dataset, with the task of classifying between different primate species sounds.

  Contrastive self-supervised learning has outperformed supervised pretraining on many downstream tasks like segmentation and object detection.

We show that current contrastive approaches work surprisingly well across: (i) object- versus scene-centric, (ii) uniform versus long-tailed and (iii) general versus domain-specific datasets.

  Deep neural networks (DNNs) exhibit great success on many tasks with the help of large-scale well annotated datasets. However, labeling large-scale data can be very costly and error-prone so that it is difficult to guarantee the annotation quality. We propose a Temporal Calibrated Regularization (TCR) in which we utilize the original labels and the predictions in the previous epoch together.
