CLIBD: Bridging Vision and Genomics for Biodiversity Monitoring at Scale

ICLR 2025poster

Measuring biodiversity is crucial for understanding ecosystem health. While prior works have developed machine learning models for taxonomic classification of photographic images and DNA separately, in this work, we introduce a multi-modal approach combining both, using CLIP-style contrastive learni…

A Step Towards Worldwide Biodiversity Assessment: The BIOSCAN-1M Insect Dataset

NeurIPS 2023poster

In an effort to catalog insect biodiversity, we propose a new large dataset of hand-labelled insect images, the BIOSCAN-1M Insect Dataset. Each record is taxonomically classified by an expert, and also has associated genetic information including raw nucleotide barcode sequences and assigned barcode…
