GetzLab

We design an iterative recognition framework with a synergistic collaboration of humans and machines. Our goal is to minimize the need for human intervention as much as possible, while maximizing the recognition performance/accuracy of each model update procedure!

In real-world applications, AI models do not stop at one training stage. As data collection progresses over time, there is a continuous cycle of inference, annotation, and model updating. When there are novel and difficult samples, human annotation is inevitable.

Check out our most recent publication with @SpringerNature in Nature Machine Intelligence! This project, led by Zhongqi Miao, uses an iterative recognition framework that finally makes deep learning deployable for automatic wildlife recognition: nature.com/articles/s4225…

Mitrani #Zoom seminar @mddeBGU We had a great by Wayne Getz @VLSB5048, @ESPM_Berkeley, on: "Fifteen years beyond the Getz-Saltz framework for generating and analyzing #movement paths on #ecological #landscapes" nature.berkeley.edu/getzlab/

Awesome job @prettynwhitty for contributing to this wonderful letter in support of anti-racist action to @ESPM_Berkeley faculty and staff! #BlackLivesMatter #BlackInSTEM

Congrats to @prettynwhitty!! Making the Getz lab look good since 2017! 👏👏👏

An amazing opportunity to see and advance some of the amazing work that has been done at the Etosha Ecological Institute (EEI)! I couldn't have completed my dissertation without them! I'm sure @VLSB5048 will be well represented! etosha112.org

Excited to publicize the 2019 Etosha Research Symposium happening this June! Register now! etosha112.org

Another example of an alum, this time @ericrdougherty, helping out with some excellent research out of @kathyalx's lab!

ESPM professor emeritus Wayne Getz and alum @ColinJCarlson studied the spillover interface, which is characterized by a spillover of wildlife, livestock, vectors, and the abiotic environment that result in new and distinct diseases. New paper here - ow.ly/rOtp30lJwvQ

Another great paper out from our lab! Check it out! "Ecological Methods and Metrics for GPS movement data" now published in the International Journal of Geographical Information Science tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our new paper is out in @PLOSONE! Note the role of Bovine TB in the system! journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Save the date! 📢 During our 1st BioMove Symposium on #movement 🐾 and #biodiversity research 🐭🐹 - taking place 26.-28.09. in #Potsdam - we will tackle the question how individual movements shape biodiversity patterns and vice versa! More infos via goo.gl/ZdexGr

Great work @ColinJCarlson! twitter.com/ColinJCarlson/…

Great work @ericrdougherty & @ColinJCarlson & @JasonKBlackburn ! twitter.com/ColinJCarlson/…
