BioCLIP 2: Emergent Properties from Scaling Hierarchical Contrastive Learning
Jianyang Gu, Samuel Stevens, Elizabeth G Campolongo +13
Foundation models trained at scale exhibit remarkable emergent behaviors, learning new capabilities beyond their initial training objectives. We find such emergent behaviors in bio…
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…
BioCLIP: A Vision Foundation Model for the Tree of Life
Samuel Stevens, Jiaman Wu, Matthew J Thompson +9
Images of the natural world, collected by a variety of cameras, from drones to individual phones, are increasingly abundant sources of biological information. There is an explosion…
