OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Deep learning tools for pose estimation in the laboratory
PLEASE NOTE THE VENUE HAS CHANGED TO THE SMALL LECTURE THEATRE AT THE SHERRINGTON BUILDING.
Please contact Tai-Ying Lee (tai-ying.lee@dpag.ox.ac.uk) if you would like to arrange an individual meeting with the speaker
Quantifying behavior is crucial for many applications in neuroscience. Videography provides easy methods for the observation and recording of animal behavior in diverse settings, yet extracting particular aspects of a behavior for further analysis can be highly time consuming. I will discuss an efficient method for markerless pose estimation based on transfer learning with deep neural networks that achieves excellent results (i.e. you can match human labeling accuracy) with minimal training data (typically 50-200 frames). In this work, we demonstrate the versatility of this framework by tracking various body parts in multiple species across a broad collection of behaviors.
