Effective Multidisciplinary Search Strategies for Assistance Animals: A Librarian's Perspective.

ABSTRACT: Successful search strategies are based on good background knowledge and a focused clinical research question. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of research involving assistance animals means there is no one universal database to answer all research questions. The topic of assistance animals can yield better results when creating subheadings based on discipline focus. Subheadings have been divided into ethicolegal, sociocultural, psychobehavioral, and medical/veterinary. Each subheading, or discipline, has their own specific databases that will yield higher relevant content than others. Contacting local academic librarians and utilizing search guides created by those librarians can lead to successful search strategies. The goal of this article is to create a template for successful search strategies in assistance animals. Eighty-nine subject guides curated by academic librarians are reviewed to identify strong databases for each topic of ethicolegal, sociocultural, pscyhobehavioral, and medical/veterinary topics in relationship to assistance animals. A live subject guide has been created and maintained at https://www.library.ucdavis.edu/guide/assistance-animals/.

Project description:Wild animals are essential for ecosystem structuring and stability, and thus they are important for ecological research. Since most wild animals have high athletic or concealable abilities or both, it is used to be relatively difficult to acquire evidence of animal appearances before applications of camera traps in ecological researches. However, a single camera trap may produce thousands of animal images in a short period of time and inevitably ends up with millions of images requiring classification. Although there have been many methods developed for classifying camera trap images, almost all of them follow the pattern of a very deep convolutional neural network processing all camera trap images. Consequently, the corresponding surveillance area may need to be delicately controlled to match the network capability, and it may be difficult to expand the area in the future. In this study, we consider a scenario in which camera traps are grouped into independent clusters, and images produced by a cluster are processed by an edge device installed with a customized network. Accordingly, edge devices in this scenario may be highly heterogeneous due to cluster scales. Resultantly, networks popular in the classification of camera trap images may not be deployable for edge devices without modifications requiring the expertise which may be hard to obtain. This motivates us to automatize network design via neural architecture search for edge devices. However, the search may be costly due to the evaluations of candidate networks, and its results may be infeasible without considering the resource limits of edge devices. Accordingly, we propose a search method using regression trees to evaluate candidate networks to lower search costs, and candidate networks are built based on a meta-architecture automatically adjusted regarding to the resource limits. In experiments, the search consumes 6.5 hours to find a network applicable to the edge device Jetson X2. The found network is then trained on camera trap images through a workstation and tested on Jetson X2. The network achieves competitive accuracies compared with the automatically and the manually designed networks.
