We extend our gratitude to Kaggle, the FGVC Workshop organizers, and the hashtag#CV4Ecology Workshop Series for their continued support.

The response was extraordinary. 1,508 submissions from 109 participants made this our liveliest Kaggle competition yet. With 16 active discussion threads and over 60 comments, the dialogue was thoughtful, constructive, and technically deep.

Building on previous competitions that focused on out-of-sample detection (2023) and novel category discovery (2024), this year we challenged participants with hierarchical classification.

These competitions are a powerful way to engage the ML community with ocean science while surfacing key challenges that arise when applying ML in complex, data-scarce environments like the deep sea.

For the past three years, FathomNet has worked with Kaggle to host machine learning (ML) competitions that advance marine computer vision.

To assist in that upskilling, and to foster a community in which those impacted can help each other build AI skills, the CV4Ecology program is organizing a two-week remote workshop in May of 2025 that will teach AI methods to former US public sector conservation scientists.
