Insects represent half of all global biodiversity, yet many of the world's insects are disappearing, with severe implications for ecosystems and agriculture. Despite this crisis, data on insect diversity and abundance remain woefully…
It is argued based on the results of both numerical modelling and the experiments performed on an artificial substitute of a meadow that the sound emitted by animals living in a dense surrounding such as a meadow or shrubs can be used as a…
Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has shown great promise in helping ecologists understand the health of animal populations and ecosystems. However, extracting insights from millions of hours of audio recordings requires the development of…
Deep learning (DL) has greatly advanced audio classification, yet the field is limited by the scarcity of large-scale benchmark datasets that have propelled progress in other domains. While AudioSet is a pivotal step to bridge this gap as a…
In the domain of music production and audio processing, the implementation of automatic pitch correction of the singing voice, also known as Auto-Tune, has significantly transformed the landscape of vocal performance. While auto-tuning…
Recent advances in birdsong detection and classification have approached a limit due to the lack of fully annotated recordings. In this paper, we present NIPS4Bplus, the first richly annotated birdsong audio dataset, that is comprised of…
Research in bioacoustics, neuroscience, and linguistics often uses birdsong as a proxy to acquire knowledge across diverse areas. This requires audio models to annotate and parse the birdsong. Developing such models requires precise,…
The determination of musical key is a fundamental aspect of music theory and perception, providing a harmonic context for melodies and chord progressions. Automating this process, known as automatic key detection, is a significant task in…
