Check out Eddie and Omiros' work introducing our new vision-language retrieval
dataset INQUIRE which will be presented at
#NeurIPS2024
next week.

🎯 How can we empower scientific discovery in millions of nature photos?
Introducing INQUIRE: A benchmark testing if AI vision-language models can help
scientists find biodiversity patterns- from disease symptoms to rare behaviors-
hidden in vast image collections. Thread👇🧵

My students and I attended
#COP16
in Columbia as part of MIT's delegation, and MIT News just released a story
about our engagement with the conference as well as the local community while we
were there: news.mit.edu/2024/mit-del...
MIT delegation mainstreams biodiversity conservation at the UN Biodiversity
Convention, COP16
MIT's organized participation at COP16 featured 10 delegates who showcased
MIT's diverse research on biodiversity. The delegation contributed to

📊 We showed that CT-DS and REM both provide reliable estimates when an
algorithm (#MegaDetector,
@sarameghanbeery.bsky.social
@doctorofrock.bsky.social
) is used to filter blank images, and CT-DS can even be used with an automated
taxonomic classifier (#WildlifeInsights) with minimal bias.

MIT News covered our recent work on developing 4D models of individual trees in
urban forests, read here :) news.mit.edu/2024/advanci...
Advancing urban tree monitoring with AI-powered digital twins
The new "Tree-D Fusion" system integrates generative AI and
genus-conditioned algorithms to create precise simulation-ready models of
600,000 existing urban trees across North America.

One of my favourite data discoveries this year: Google's mind-blowing ARCO-ERA5
dataset: hourly data for ~300 climate variables, available globally from 1940!
🤯 Loadable with a single line of Python code from a single cloud-friendly Zarr
file! Below: a month of wind waves + swell: 🌊

Sharing some new work! A big dream in AI is to create world models of sufficient
quality that you can train agents within them. Classic simulators lack visual
diversity and realism. GenAI lacks physical accuracy. But combining the two can
work pretty well! Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2411.00083

In this work, the authors assess the hypothesis that classifying animals cropped
