Navigating the Depths: Advancing Hierarchical Classification of Ocean Life

Join the FathomNet Kaggle Competition to show us how you would develop a model that can accurately classify varying taxonomic ranks. Developing these solutions for ocean research will enable scientists to process and explore ocean data more efficiently.

In the field of marine ecology, accurate taxonomic classification is essential for addressing fundamental questions: What species exist in a particular place? What is the ecosystem biodiversity and how does it change over time? Questions like these motivate the focus of our 2025 FathomNet Kaggle Competition, aiming to push the boundaries of taxonomic accuracy and inspire innovative solutions.

Competition will close on May 26. Learn more: https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/fathomnet-2025
