Camera traps enable the automatic collection of large quantities of image data. Ecologists use camera traps to monitor animal populations all over the world. In order to estimate the abundance of a species from camera trap data, ecologists…

Empirical science of neural scaling laws is a rapidly growing area of significant importance to the future of machine learning, particularly in the light of recent breakthroughs achieved by large-scale pre-trained models such as GPT-3, CLIP…

Few-shot classification is a challenging task which aims to formulate the ability of humans to learn concepts from limited prior data and has drawn considerable attention in machine learning. Recent progress in few-shot classification has…

The existing event classification (EC) work primarily focuseson the traditional supervised learning setting in which models are unableto extract event mentions of new/unseen event types. Few-shot learninghas not been investigated in this…

We address the problem of anomaly detection in videos. The goal is to identify unusual behaviours automatically by learning exclusively from normal videos. Most existing approaches are usually data-hungry and have limited generalization…

Few-shot segmentation (FSS) aims to rapidly learn novel class concepts from limited examples to segment specific targets in unseen images, and has been widely applied in areas such as medical diagnosis and industrial inspection. However,…

Foraging site constancy, or repeated return to the same foraging location, is a foraging strategy used by many species to decrease uncertainty, but it is often unclear exactly how the foraging site is identified. Here we focus on the…

If predictions for species extinctions hold, then the `tree of life' today may be quite different to that in (say) 100 years. We describe a technique to quantify how much each species is likely to contribute to future biodiversity, as…

Off-road environments pose significant perception challenges for high-speed autonomous navigation due to unstructured terrain, degraded sensing conditions, and domain-shifts among biomes. Learning semantic information across these…

As rich sources of history, maps provide crucial insights into historical changes, yet their diverse visual representations and limited annotated data pose significant challenges for automated processing. We propose a simple yet effective…

In this work, we address the challenging task of few-shot segmentation. Previous few-shot segmentation methods mainly employ the information of support images as guidance for query image segmentation. Although some works propose to build…

Forests are vital for the wellbeing of our planet. Large and small scale deforestation across the globe is threatening the stability of our climate, forest biodiversity, and therefore the preservation of fragile ecosystems and our natural…

Current event detection models under super-vised learning settings fail to transfer to newevent types. Few-shot learning has not beenexplored in event detection even though it al-lows a model to perform well with high gener-alization on new…

In recent years, numerous domain adaptive strategies have been proposed to help deep learning models overcome the challenges posed by domain shift. However, even unsupervised domain adaptive strategies still require a large amount of target…

Range expansion and range shifts are crucial population responses to climate change. Genetic consequences are not well understood but are clearly coupled to ecological dynamics that, in turn, are driven by shifting climate conditions. We…

We propose a few-shot learning method for spatial regression. Although Gaussian processes (GPs) have been successfully used for spatial regression, they require many observations in the target task to achieve a high predictive performance.…

Cross-Domain Few-Shot Segmentation aims to segment categories in data-scarce domains conditioned on a few exemplars. Typical methods first establish few-shot capability in a large-scale source domain and then adapt it to target domains.…

Raw moments are used as a way to estimate species abundance distribution. The almost linear pattern of the log transformation of raw moments across scales allow us to extrapolate species abundance distribution for larger areas. However,…

We consider the few-shot classification task with an unbalanced dataset, in which some classes have sufficient training samples while other classes only have limited training samples. Recent works have proposed to solve this task by…

The biodiversity crisis is still accelerating, despite increasing efforts by the international community. Estimating animal abundance is of critical importance to assess, for example, the consequences of land-use change and invasive species…
