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. ********* Time: Wednesday, 7th November 2018, 4:00 p.m. sharp Location: Oesterreichisches Forschungsinstitut fuer Artificial Intelligence, OFAI Freyung 6, Stiege 6, 1010 Wien OESTERREICHISCHES FORSCHUNGSINSTITUT FUER ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Univ.-Prof. Ing.
