OpportunityTitle: Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Piedmont-South Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.&#160; CESU&#8217;s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education.&#160; Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Piedmont-South Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.&#160; &#160;
Description: The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in developing deep convolutional neural networks for image-based individual fish recognition, develop baseline Artificial Intelligence (hereafter, AI) models for individual recognition performance, and determining the performance of AI models. Research Scientists at the EESC have a wealth of knowledge specific to ongoing studies that are using AI to identify fish in freshwater streams and develop early detection of diseased fish. This research will advance the understanding by linking developing methods in computer science with ecological science.
