What Do You See in Common? Learning Hierarchical Prototypes over Tree-of-Life to Discover Evolutionary Traits
Harish Babu Manogaran, M. Maruf, Arka Daw +12
A grand challenge in biology is to discover evolutionary traits - features of organisms common to a group of species with a shared ancestor in the tree of life (also referred to as…
Fish-Vista: A Multi-Purpose Dataset for Understanding & Identification of Traits from Images
Kazi Sajeed Mehrab, M. Maruf, Arka Daw +16
We introduce Fish-Visual Trait Analysis (Fish-Vista), the first organismal image dataset designed for the analysis of visual traits of aquatic species directly from images using pr…
VLM4Bio: A Benchmark Dataset to Evaluate Pretrained Vision-Language Models for Trait Discovery from Biological Images
M. Maruf, Arka Daw, Kazi Sajeed Mehrab +19
Images are increasingly becoming the currency for documenting biodiversity on the planet, providing novel opportunities for accelerating scientific discoveries in the field of orga…
Hierarchical Conditioning of Diffusion Models Using Tree-of-Life for Studying Species Evolution
Mridul Khurana, Arka Daw, M. Maruf +12
A central problem in biology is to understand how organisms evolve and adapt to their environment by acquiring variations in the observable characteristics or traits of species acr…
