Harnessing Large-Scale Herbarium Image Datasets Through Representation Learning.
The mobilization of large-scale datasets of specimen images and metadata through herbarium digitization provide a rich environment for the application and development of machine learning techniques. However, limited access to computational resources and uneven progress in digitization, especially for small herbaria, still present barriers to the wide adoption of these...Walker, Barnaby E. ; Tucker, Allan ; Nicolson, Nicky

People are essential to linking biodiversity data.
People are one of the best known and most stable entities in the biodiversity knowledge graph. The wealth of public information associated with people and the ability to identify them uniquely open up the possibility to make more use of these data in biodiversity science. Person data are almost always...Groom, Quentin ; Güntsch, Anton ; Huybrechts, Pieter ; Kearney, Nicole ; Leachman, Siobhan …
