Insect monitoring is crucial for understanding the consequences of rapid ecological changes, but taxa identification currently requires tedious manual expert work and cannot be scaled-up efficiently. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), provide a viable way to significantly increase the biomonitoring volumes. However, taxa abundances are typically very imbalanced and the amounts of training images for the rarest classes are simply too low for deep CNNs. As a result, the samples from the rare classes are often completely missed, while detecting them has biological importance. In this paper, we propose combining the trained deep CNN with one-class classifiers to improve the rare species identification. One-class classification models are traditionally trained with much fewer samples and they can provide a mechanism to indicate samples potentially belonging to the rare classes for human inspection. Our experiments confirm that the proposed approach may indeed support moving towards partial automation of the taxa identification task.
