Topic: behavioral events

Although automated systems for rodent behavior annotation exist, specific behaviors are still scored by hand. We introduce a novel AI-assisted annotation tool, SmartAnnotator, which helps the researcher annotate behaviors through active learning. Active learning reduces annotation effort by automatically selecting behavioral events whose annotation will maximally improve classification. Instead of playing a video from start to end and simultaneously scoring behavior, the researcher is presented short video clips, each showing a single behavioral event. The events are derived from clustered low
