Label-efficient underwater species classification with semi-supervised learning on frozen foundation model embeddings

Thomas Manuel Rost / April 2, 2026

arXiv:2604.00313v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Automated species classification from underwater imagery is bottlenecked by the cost of expert annotation, and supervised models trained on one dataset rarely transfer to new conditions. We investigate w…
