Animal Behavior Classification

The goal of this continuing research project, conducted in collaboration with the KSU Department of Psychological Sciences under a Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) Phase II grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is to classify the behavior of animals in videos, a process also known as grading. In computer vision, the general classification task, including the detection of organism(s) involved, is known as activity recognition.

The project is being done by a PhD student, Enock O. Ayiku and an undergraduate researcher Hursen Adjovi, a Research Immersion Pathways to STEM RIPS scholar who joined in summer 2022.

Keywords

artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, information extraction, spatiotemporal pattern recognition

Methods

The current architecture makes use of DeepEthogram. We are working on applying some transformer based architectures for new findings.
