[MERL Seminar Series Spring 2023] Fine-grained wildlife sound recognition: Towards the accuracy of a naturalist

Dan Stowell, Tilburg University / Naturalis Biodiversity Centre, presented a talk in the MERL Seminar Series on April 25, 2023.

Abstract:
Machine learning can be used to identify animals from their sound. This could be a valuable tool for biodiversity monitoring, and for understanding animal behaviour and communication. But to get there, we need very high accuracy at fine-grained acoustic distinctions across hundreds of categories in diverse conditions. In our group we are studying how to achieve this at continental scale. I will describe aspects of bioacoustic data that challenge even the latest deep learning workflows, and our work to address this. Methods covered include adaptive feature representations, deep embeddings and few-shot learning.
