PSDI is the UK's nationally funded programme that provides tools and services to help researchers in the physical sciences find, share, and process data, with the explicit aim of accelerating scientific discovery and innovation. In PSDI, we work with diverse data from various sources. One of the key challenges we face is managing big data while maintaining flexibility in handling both raw and...
Training computer vision models for animal biodiversity monitoring tasks demands a vast amount of labelled data for the target ecosystem. While raw, unlabelled data can be readily acquired on a large scale through camera trap systems deployed across the globe, labelling it all with species information requires significant expert effort, leading to a bottleneck in the pipeline. Since the labels...
