Super interesting topic! I am very interested in the pdf.

We had the same problem a few years ago with employer names, I remember having a similar list with McDonald's being spelled creatively.
I wrote a few blogposts on how to solve this using fuzzy matching in R. They are a few years old but the technique should still work: r-vogg-blog.netlify.app/fuzzy

Foraging competence and its impact on social relationships in a socially tolerant wild primate - Animal Cognition Social interactions are crucial for individual health and ultimately fitness, making the choice of social partners evolutionarily relevant. Previous research has shown that individuals who succeed in ...

New publication from the Fichtel-Kappeler-Lab (@kirindy.bsky.social) is out in Animal Cognition:
@elifkarakoc.bsky.social, @richardvogg.bsky.social & colleagues show: competence pays – briefly

People in Göttingen who are interested in monkey research 🐒 and AI: I will be giving a talk at this year's Pint of Science 🍻. Tickets are now available, also check out all the other interesting topics!
[Small "warning": My talk will be in German but it will contain many cute monkey and lemur videos]

📢 Fully-funded PhD opportunity!

Explore the links between social & communication networks in ring-tailed lemurs!

Exciting fieldwork, interdisciplinary team, and innovative technologies! Apply now and join @primatenzentrum.bsky.social & @unigoettingen.bsky.social for this cutting-edge research!

Computer vision for primate behavior analysis in the wild - Nature Methods In this Perspective, Vogg et al. discuss the progress and challenges of using computer vision approaches in the behavioral analysis of primates in their natural environment.

SFB Paper Alert!

That’s teamwork: 14 SFB members across nine projects put together a perspective paper on “Computer vision for primate behavior analysis in the wild”, which was published in @naturemethods.bsky.social

A figure from the paper showing, on the left, three frames from a video in which two lemurs move through an area of forest; in the middle, the same three frames with bounding boxes surrounding each lemur; and on the right, a plot of the model output, showing the location and behaviour of each lemur over time

It's a 2-paper kinda week 😎
Exciting news for animal behaviour researchers! Our new paper is out now in @naturemethods.bsky.social, exploring the intersection of computer vision and animal behaviour. Congrats to lead author @richardvogg.bsky.social and everyone who worked so hard on this one
