Regional Interest Projects
| Project Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Optimization of language models for the retrieval and safe generation of information about species | A Spanish-language biodiversity question-answering system based on RAG, integrating data from INBio and BHL with language models to generate accurate, contextualized responses with confidence levels. |
| Relationship extraction from unstructured species descriptions using TaxonNERD and LLaMA2 - 7B | An NLP project that transforms ecological descriptions into structured data, identifying predator-prey relationships using TaxoNERD and LLaMA2-7B on INBio data. |
| Monitoring species in Costa Rica through camera traps and transformers | Automatic identification of animal species in Costa Rica using camera traps, leveraging transformer-based models and MegaDetector trained on a curated dataset of CEMEDE images. |
| Ecosystem Simulator Using Large Language Models (LLM) | An ecosystem simulator based on deep reinforcement learning and LLMs, where agents learn survival strategies and interact in 2D and potentially 3D environments. |
