LifeCLEF http://www.lifeclef.org/ workshop 2021: AI-based biodiversity identification and prediction Thursday, 23rd Sept (in the context of CLEF http://clef2021.clef-initiative.eu/ virtual conference, overall programme http://clef2021.clef-initiative.eu/index.php?page=Pages/programme.html)
AIMS AND SCOPE -------------------------- Since 2014, LifeCLEF has been organizing large-scale challenges on biodiversity identification and prediction in the context of the CLEF international conference. The annual workshop is a unique opportunity to bring together specialists from different backgrounds: machine learning, ecology, citizen science, biodiversity conservation. It is also an opportunity to have an overview of the state of the art of artificial intelligence techniques for (i) the identification of plant and snake species by images, (ii) the recognition of bird sounds and (iii) the prediction of species distributions from remote sensing images.
REGISTRATION ——————————— The registration https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdn45KhRPwzolT1sRv35AUXU-P2afVaclrH2HJ44SxDfhVAFw/viewform to CLEF conference is FREE but MANDATORY.
