From images in the wild to video-informed image classification

Image classifiers work effectively when applied on structured images, yet they often fail when applied on images with very high visual complexity. This paper describes experiments applying state-of-the-art object classifiers toward a unique set of images in the wild with high visual complexity collected on the island of Bali. The text describes differences between actual images in the wild and images from Imagenet, and then discusses a novel approach combining informational cues particular to video with an ensemble of imperfect classifiers in order to improve classification results on video sourced images of plants in the wild.

Return to Bali

This paper gives an overview of the project Return to Bali that seeks to create a living dataset of ethnobotanically significant flora on the island of Bali and new methods through which underrepresented forms of knowledge can be documented, shared and made compatible within the logics of machine learning while considering practical approaches to benefit multiple stakeholders and preventing unintended harm.

Machine Learning in Ethnobotany -- a first experiment

We describe new opportunities afforded by bring A.I to the field of ethnobotany. In particular we describe a novel approach to ethnobotany documentation that harnesses machine learning opportunities, specifically for the documentation of traditional ecological knowledge with mobile phones in emerging economies. Using a case study on the island of Bali as a departure point, the project maps out machine learning approaches to documentation and responds to technology and capital gradients between research contexts in the global north and south in an attempt to capture knowledge that might otherwise not be represented.
