CASTLE: a training-free foundation-model pipeline for cross-species behavioral classification

2025-08-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Accurately and efficiently quantifying animal behavior at scale without intensive manual labeling is a long-standing challenge for neuroscience and ethology. Keypoint-based tracking emphasizes simplicity and efficiency but loses the richness of posture and context, while emerging foundation models capture pixel-level details, yet often require nontrivial efforts of retraining and can be more sens...
