A major theme in the discussion is the deep CV/ML research opportunities (remote sensing, bioacoustics, video/image-based monitoring, citizen science, long-tailed recognition, zero-shot learning) that surface when one engages with communities who are facing real-world ecology challenges (2/3)

There are now millions of publicly-available AI models – which one is right for you?

We introduce CODA ( #ICCV2025 Highlight! ), a method for *active model selection.* CODA selects the best model for your data with any labeling budget – often as few as 25 labeled examples. 1/
