How do we create AI systems that endlessly innovate? We’re thrilled to have @jeffclune.com join us at FGVC13! His work on open-ended algorithms explores how agents autonomously discover and interact with novel fine-grained concepts to drive their own continuous evolution. See you at #CVPR2026!

How do we find rare, subtle categories in imbalanced data? This accepted paper by Kawtar Zaher, et al. introduces PF-MA: an active learning strategy that prioritizes likely positives near the decision boundary to boost retrieval and classifier performance. Check it out at the FGVC workshop! #CVPR

Can masked autoencoders scale when data is limited? Check out this accepted work from @wuaoliu.bsky.social et al. on fine-grained bioacoustic recognition. Testing on iNatSounds (5,500+ species), they find pretraining scale and diversity matter more than domain-specific curation or reconstruction.

FOMO25: Foundation Model Challenge for Brain MRI @fomochallenge.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

FOMO25 accepted at #MICCAI2025! 🚀 Excited to announce the first challenge at MICCAI focusing on the development of self-supervised pretraining of foundation models for brain MRI! 🧠 With access to a large-scale dataset, codebase, cash prices and multiple tracks. Read more ⬇️

FGVC Workshop @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

The challenge is to classify volumetric µCT images of foraminifera tests. With only 210 labeled out of 18,426 volumes, the goal is to develop an efficient species classification method that minimizes annotation time, leveraging semi-supervised learning. [5/5]

022

FGVC Workshop @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

With µCT scanning, we can scan thousands of forams in a single scan. By determining the species composition, we can efficiently understand how the environment has evolved. [4/5]

110

FGVC Workshop @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

Since certain types of foraminifera only live in specific conditions, identifying the composition of the foraminifera sediments allows us to gain insights into past environmental conditions. [3/5]

110

FGVC Workshop @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

Planktonic foraminifera (aka forams) are tiny organisms that inhabit the sea waters. Forams produce a unique calcium carbonate shell, called a test, which can consist of multiple chambers and exhibit elaborate structures. These are preserved in sea sediments for millions of years. [2/5]

FGVC Workshop @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

This competition aims to identify under-studied species based on their acoustic signatures from continuous audio data. The most effective solutions will demonstrate the ability to train reliable classifiers with limited labeled data. [4/4]

020

FGVC Workshop @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

Conducting traditional surveys across large areas is costly. In contrast, passive acoustic monitoring, combined with modern ML techniques, enables conservationists to scale with greater temporal resolution, providing deeper insights into the effectiveness of restoration interventions. [3/4]

120

FGVC Workshop @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

Mobile and habitat-diverse species serve as valuable indicators of biodiversity change, as shifts in their assemblages and population dynamics can signal the success or failure of ecological restoration efforts. [2/4]

FGVC Workshop @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

For this competition the dataset contains 79 categories of marine animals of varying taxonomic ranks (e.g., family, genus, species). The challenge is to develop a model that can accurately classify these taxa and ideally leverage their taxonomic information to do so. [5/5]

020

FGVC Workshop @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

In marine ecology, accurate taxonomic classification is essential for addressing fundamental questions: --> What species exist in a particular place? --> What is the ecosystem biodiversity and how does it change over time? [4/5]

121

FGVC Workshop @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

Is that an Octopus rubescens, commonly found in this area, or is it an Octopus cyanea usually only observed in warm, tropical waters near Hawai’i? Accurate species classification is essential for understanding ocean ecosystems. [3/5]

120

FGVC Workshop @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

Consider marine wildlife monitoring in coastal waters near California. Daily video footage analyzed by a standard ML model shows 2 octopuses, 1 shark, and 10 jellyfish - broad taxonomic categories. But species-level identification could reveal crucial details. [2/5]

FGVC Workshop @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

This challenge is about individual animal identification of loggerhead sea turtles, salamanders, and Eurasian lynxes. Your goal will be to design a model that, for each image, determines whether the depicted animal is new (not present in the training dataset) or known (to be classified). [4/4]

010

FGVC Workshop @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

But there’s a catch: many current models overfit to the background instead of the animal’s unique features. That means they often fail in new environments. Hence, we need models that generalize better across diverse habitats and allow us to identify novel specimen. [3/4]

110

FGVC Workshop @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Identifying individual animals is key to understanding wildlife populations, movements, and behaviors. By automating this process using AI, researchers can gather powerful data to track migration, monitor ecosystems, and shape smarter conservation strategies. [2/4]
