Update May 9: Added submission information

\n

Building accurate knowledge of the identity, the geographic distribution and the evolution of species is essential for a sustainable development of humanity, as well as for biodiversity conservation. However, the burden of the routine identification of plants and animals in the field is strongly penalizing the aggregation of new data and knowledge. Identifying and naming living plants or animals is actually almost impossible for the public and often a difficult task for professionals and naturalists. Bridging this gap is a key challenge towards enabling effective biodiversity monitoring systems. The LifeCLEF evaluation campaign aims at boosting and evaluating the advances in this domain since 2011. (LifeCLEF mission statement)

\n

Each year, participants of LifeCLEF publish their research as part of the CLEF workshop proceedings (e.g., http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2936/). In this year’s edition, we would like you to contribute to this research by publishing your solution as a working note. Why should you do this? Here are a few reasons:

\n\n

We will provide a template to get you started. If you publish a write-up of your solution, why not publish it as a paper? Each working note should be between 2 and 8 pages long.

\n

On top of that, we will review and rate all submitted working notes; the two best papers will be awarded $2,500 in Google Cloud Platform credits.

\n

Go to the “Evaluation” subsection to see more details about how we will review.

\n

What does a working note look like? Here are a few (admittedly very extensive) examples of previous years:

\n\n

This is the timeline for working note submissions:

\n\n

Submission information:

\n

Working notes are published within CEUR-WS proceedings, resulting in an assignment of an individual DOI (URN) and an indexing by many bibliography systems including DBLP. According to the CEUR-WS policies, a light review of the working notes will be conducted by LifeCLEF organizing committee to ensure quality. As an illustration, LifeCLEF 2021 working notes (task overviews and participant working notes) can be found within CLEF 2021 CEUR-WS proceedings. These proceedings are indexed by most bibliography repositories such as DBLP, Scopus, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, etc.

\n

All BirdCLEF working notes have to be submitted before June 3rd 2022 at:
\nhttps://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=clef2022

\n

Within EasyChair, please select the LifeCLEF track and the topic BirdCLEF. Please make sure that all author information in EasyChair exactly match the author information of the working note.

\n

Please use the provided template for your working note. You can download the template as Word or LaTeX file here.

\n

Let us know in the comments if you have any questions about how to contribute. We will keep this thread updated.
