Image and video analysis is often a crucial step in the study of animal behavior and kinematics. Often these analyses require that the position of one or more animal landmarks are annotated (marked) in numerous images. The process of…
Introduction: For supervised deep learning (DL) tasks, researchers need a large annotated dataset. In medical data science, one of the major limitations to develop DL models is the lack of annotated examples in large quantity. This is most…

Neuroscience has traditionally relied on manually observing lab animals in controlled environments. Researchers usually record animals behaving in free or restrained manner and then annotate the data manually. The manual annotation is not…
Hand-annotated data can vary due to factors such as subjective differences, intra-rater variability, and differing annotator expertise. We study annotations from different experts who labelled the same behavior classes on a set of animal…
Despite significant progress in semi-supervised learning for image object detection, several key issues are yet to be addressed for video object detection: (1) Achieving good performance for supervised video object detection greatly depends…
We propose an end-to-end learning framework for segmenting generic objects in both images and videos. Given a novel image or video, our approach produces a pixel-level mask for all "object-like" regions---even for object categories never…
