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

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":

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.

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.
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.

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.

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 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.

We offer a unique Re-Identification dataset to identify wild animals individually using drones. We capture images with two drones simultaneously to create a robust ground truth with video annotations of 730 individuals from 11 video pairs.

We offer a MOT dataset with 1.2 Million annotations in 12 video sequences with up to 700 individuals. We show that existing state of the art is slow and existing metrics to solve MOT problem are insufficient for applications in wildlife research and biodiversity monitoring.

"A possible explanation is that talent begets talent, or that previous winners nominate their scientific descendants (researchers must be nominated to be considered for a prize, and the Nobel committees choose who can make these nominations).".
This Nature article shows that most Nobel Prize winners are part of one big, incestuous academic network. Out of 736 Nobel Prize winners in science and economics, 702 are "part of the same academic family.". Only 32 researchers out of this network have won the Nobel Prize.
