Alex Chan

Paper now out in @MethodsEcolEvol!! Looking forward to seeing how the community applies this method. Since the preprint, I updated the documentation and even made a video tutorial. Do check it out! [paper] doi.org/10.1111/2041-2… [documentation] alexhang212.github.io/YOLO_Behaviour…

My supervisor Kano is advertising multiple open postions! Check it out here :)

Delighted to share this amazing news for the Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour and ⁦@UniKonstanz⁩ !!! Thanks so much to the Hector Foundation! uni-konstanz.de/en/university/…

If you study it, you must have put a ring on it. @AlexHHChan offers one of the most comprehensive datasets till date to solve the problem of reliable long term monitoring in birds. If YOU are into "REAL WORLD" AI / Wildlife / Bird monitoring - This is your JAM. #CVPR #Highlight

Thank you to all co-authors, and see you in Denver! :) Coauthors: Neha Singhal, Onur Kocahan, Andrea Meltzer, @Elsa9012 , Miya Warrington, Michael Griesser, @fkano, @hmnaik

New preprint alert!! Accepted to CVPR 2026, we present the CHIRP dataset, a task-diverse computer vision dataset on Siberian jays. @CBehav

New blog post!!🚨 Michael Chimento gives an overview of the new R package STbayes, designed for creating, fitting and understanding Bayesian models of social transmission Read the blog here 👇 buff.ly/Q2dIWn1

To study emotions in free-ranging #animals, researchers rely on what they see: but inferring #emotions from #behavior is not enough! Our new preprint discusses how #technology could help us better understand animal affect under naturalistic conditions 🚨 osf.io/preprints/osf/…

📖Published📖 Chimento et al., develop a 3D Synchronized Outdoor Camera System (3D-SOCS): an inexpensive, mobile and automated method for collecting behavioural data on animals using synchronized video frames from Raspberry Pi controlled cameras 📸 buff.ly/4nr5m4y

Cv4Animals making it on the big stage 🦍 Congrats @otto_brookes's dataset chosen as one of the cvpr award candidates!!

Another fantastic #CV4Animals workshop in the books! Huge thanks to our incredible speakers, @Grant_Van_Horn, Tilo, Hedvig, Carlos, Vivek, and the amazing organizing team! Hope to see everyone again next year!

3D-SOCS now out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social!!! Fully raspi based synchronized camera system in the wild for 3D posture tracking 🤗 check out paper below! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/8NM8BZ7A…

Back to see what the world of computer vision has to offer 😌

Hot off the press 📢: one of the most surprising and unsettling findings of my PhD. A novel social tradition emerged in the tool-using capuchins of Jicarón island… abducting and carrying the infants of another species. Thread with gifs, videos, and all the bizarre details 👇

Interested in biology and comparative psychology, and working in an interdisciplinary project and research team? I’m advertising two PhD positions on the evolutionary origins of cooperative sociality and communication (start 1.10.) @UniKonstanz @CBehav 👇 links below!
