Introducing, BuckTales: The largest UAV dataset to solve the problem of identifying and tracking hundreds of animals from aerial images.
#NeurIPS2024 #AI #Wildlife
Presenting Poster in Session 1, #5310 West Wing. (Details in thread)
@MPI_animalbehav @livingingroups
If you study it, you must have put a ring on it. @AlexHHChan offers one of the most comprehensive datasets till date to solve the problem of reliable long term monitoring in birds. If YOU are into "REAL WORLD" AI / Wildlife / Bird monitoring - This is your JAM. #CVPR #Highlight
New preprint alert!! Accepted to CVPR 2026, we present the CHIRP dataset, a task-diverse computer vision dataset on Siberian jays. @CBehav
UAVs are having much large impact in biodiversity monitoring and field is moving much beyond surveying and counting animal populations. Our latest paper reviews use cases in behavioural sciences: "Advancing animal behavior research using drone technology": sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Well well, guess what @IndiGo6E did to my 65 yr old mother's flight, a fully paid return ticket to Bom - IST - Zurich, suddenly the return ticket is cancelled and a new ticket allotted is 24 Hrs halt at Istanbul airport for a senior citizen. They said pay if you want to change.
Replying to @prvkhvr
Needless to say, your staff was rude to me and my co passenger, accusing us of filming when we were not filming, because I politely asked them the same question- How could they change flight time 2 hours before a flight and charge me extra.
Mind you, at this point I had paid the extra because I dont want a money hassle.
They were also unprofessional, playing very distasteful private voice messages to each other on speaker phone and giggling at the obscenity while “resolving” our issue.
And the language of resolution is suspect— the lady literally began with ‘Sir the actual charge of this change is 40,000 rs (original ticket for not more than 15) but i will charge you only minimum price 3,000 per customer’. A 90% discount??? Instantly??? Without me asking for it ??? Super suspicious.
Everyone asks you to go to the next counter, trying to exhaust your anger and genuine frustration.
You waste my time, you take more of my money, but no one dares take any accountability.
To my shock, they said the return ticket was never confirmed by the airline. This means they sold me a ticket, with a seat, took money and then said it wasn't confirmed. Am I booking a train, I never saw an unconfirmed air ticket. Absolute losers, @IndiGo6E is the shittiest.
My first short story on wildlife is published in iWonder (for school kids) from Azim Premji University in Bengalore. It will be available in Hindi and Kannada soon,do share it with your little ones. Includes exercises and activity sheets for school kids. publications.azimpremjiunive…
Had a call with a data annotation company today, pure cut throat approach for how do we get business from your institution? No homework on what we do and no homework/interest in how their product can help me. Do you think you can pay? Whom do we talk to? bad selling strategy.
it's important to step up when needed. It's good that the topic is publicly addressed now.
NeurIPS acknowledges that the cultural generalization made by the keynote speaker today reinforces implicit biases by making generalisations about Chinese scholars. This is not what NeurIPS stands for. NeurIPS is dedicated to being a safe space for all of us. We want to address the comment made during the invited talk this afternoon, as it is something that NeurIPS does not condone and it doesn't align with our code of conduct. We are addressing this issue with the speaker directly.
NeurIPS is dedicated to being a diverse and inclusive place where everyone is treated equally.

The dataset is the first in UAV category for addressing the MOT and Re-ID problems for wild animals. The main feature being long-term annotations for validating performance of tracking for up to 3 min long. We focus annotations on complex movement in sparse and dense settings.

Another Phd opportunity from @livingingroups, this time to study charismatic lemur from Madagascar. Take a look👇 deadline Nov 24
‼️#PhD ‼️How do group-living sifaka make movement and foraging decisions under extreme energetic constraints?
Work with an expansive bio-logging & remote sensing dataset at a hub of animal behavior research!

What if you could make physics diagrams come alive? At #UIST2024, we will be presenting our paper, Augmented Physics, an ML-Integrated Authoring Tool for Creating Interactive Physics Simulations from Static Diagrams

"Raw footage of Israeli soldiers in Gaza, destruction of life, the appalling death toll of children. Pictures devastatingly realistic in the horror they showed of torture against Palestinian prisoners."
