DEEP LEARNING FOR ACOUSTIC BIRD DETECTION AND SPECIES IDENTIFICATION

Biodiversity, the variety of life on Earth, is constantly reduced by
human influences. Monitoring this loss is vital to understand and
control it.
In the applied research project aMOBY (https://amoby.ofai.at), we
explored how well current methods of artificial intelligence may help to
monitor biodiversity from audio recordings, supporting or complementing
human observations.
This talk will give an overview of our findings. Using artificial neural
networks, we were able to automatically detect bird calls in field
recordings, as well as identify the species to some extend, reaching
top results in two scientific competitions. I will present the technical
solutions in detail, discuss shortcomings, and finish with an outlook on
applying the same methodology to underwater recordings of whales.
