InfoTaxa: Information-Calibrated Label-Free Clustering for Fine-Grained Visual Taxonomy

InfoTaxa presents an information‑calibrated, label‑free clustering approach for fine‑grained visual taxonomy, using frozen pretrained visual embeddings and DNA as an audit signal. On the BIOSCAN‑5M dataset, the method achieves 0.79 AMI at family and 0.67 at genus, outperforming prior image baselines and matching oracle‑K and graph‑based methods. The study shows that while clustering efficiency recovers most image‑available information at higher taxonomic ranks, species‑level performance remains limited by both clustering and representation, with DNA adding significant predictive value.
