FathomVerse is teaming up with SciStarter and hundreds of other #CitizenScience projects to encourage our volunteers to join a global effort to log 2.5 million #ActsofScience this April!
The collective efforts of FathomVerse players around the world are enhancing the AI models that researchers rely on to deepen our understanding of marine ecosystems. Together, we can speed up breakthroughs in science and discover all life in the ocean!
Community Science for the Ocean
Every time you play FathomVerse you are contributing to ocean science and helping to train AI models. In Pulse, Illuminate, and Identify, when you label an image with the appropriate animal group name, you’re training machine learning models to classify ocean animals. In Bound, when you draw bounding boxes around animals, you’re training machine learning models to detect objects within complex underwater scenes.
To participate, you can report each dive completed as an act of science.
