#DeepLearning has huge potential in #ecoacoustics, but as we don't yet fully understand the ecological role of sound, using uninterpretable, 'black box' models comes with a risk of generating confusion rather than insight, especially when analysing whole soundscapes

In order to advance, we need to understand the basis of prediction: which features are used and what do they represent? To address this issue and more we explored a novel application of variational autoencoders. 1/

To any #wildingradio fans - apologies for the outage, we have a technical issue. To celebrate year end, we've uploaded some highlights from 2023 - enjoy https://wilding.radio

I'm treating myself to a course on Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet. There are lots of highlights already, but one a short clip of Thich Naht Hahn in the HOUSE OF LORDS during the Cameron-Clegg coalition. I wonder if the current Tory spree has made space for a zen master to help them navigate climate emergency?

Do you have many hours of audio data? Do simple call detection algorithms not work well enough? Don’t despair, after more than three years of development Animal-SPOT is here! Published in Scientific Reports: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-26429-y. All code and example data is publicly available. You can train your own network and detect vocalisations of anything from cod to whale and bat to parrot. #MachineLearning #Bioacoustics #DeepLearning
