Hi Marmam colleagues, My co-authors and I would like to share a couple recent papers on the development of deep-learning in cetacean photo-identification studies. Barnhill, A., Towers, J.R., Sutton, G.J., Shaw, T.J.H., Doniol-Valcroze, T., Maier, A., Nöth, Bergler, C. 2026. Leveraging co-occurrence to improve deep learning photo-identification in social mammals. Ecology and Evolution, 16, e73552. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ece3.73552 Barnhill, A., Towers, J.R., Shaw, T.J.H., Arias, M., Bécares, A., Doniol-Valcroze, T., von Fersen, L., Genoves, R., Rörup, T., Sutton, G.J., Thornton, S., Weiss, M., Maier, A., Nöth, E, Bergler, C. 2025. Advances in deep learning-driven photo identification and meta analysis of cetaceans in large data repositories. Ecological Informatics, 91, 103396. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoinf.2025.103396 The algorithms reported in these papers are now housed and available for population photo-ID data managers on www.finwave.io.
