Database Resources

Art and science are sometimes viewed as distinct disciplines, but biologists often use art to visually explain many aspects of biology. From anatomical structures of newly discovered species to molecular processes that are difficult to conceptualize without an image, these diagrams are an important form of science communication.

Curating annotations is key to building supervised computer vision models, but it’s not without challenges.

The FathomNet Models are hosted on Hugging Face, a platform widely used by the machine learning community for sharing models, datasets, and applications.

FathomNet provides fathomnet-py, a Python client-side API to help scientists, researchers, and developers interact with FathomNet Database data.
