Clustering problems are considered amongst the prominent challenges in statistics and computational science. Clustering of nodes in wireless sensor networks which is used to prolong the life-time of networks is one of the difficult tasks of…
We present a framework for detecting blue whale vocalisations from acoustic submarine recordings. The proposed methodology comprises three stages: i) a preprocessing step where the audio recordings are conditioned through normalisation,…
Spikes can be easily detected inmostintracellular recordings as sharp peaks. However, insome experimental preparations,because of unipolar morphology or other characteristicsof the recorded neurons, the sizes of the spikes recorded from the…
AI-driven sign language interpretation is limited by a lack of high-quality annotated data. New datasets including ASL STEM Wiki and FLEURS-ASL contain professional interpreters and 100s of hours of data but remain only partially annotated…
The performance of object detection, to a great extent, depends on the availability of large annotated datasets. To alleviate the annotation cost, the research community has explored a number of ways to exploit unlabeled or weakly labeled…
Animal vocalisations contain important information about health, emotional state, and behaviour, thus can be potentially used for animal welfare monitoring. Motivated by the spectro-temporal patterns of chick calls in the time$-$frequency…
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,…
Activity recognition and, more generally, behavior inference tasks are gaining a lot of interest. Much of it is work in the context of human behavior. New available tracking technologies for wild animals are generating datasets that…
Camera trapping is increasingly used to monitor wildlife, but this technology typically requires extensive data annotation. Recently, deep learning has significantly advanced automatic wildlife recognition. However, current methods are…
Narwhal is one of the most mysterious marine mammals, due to its isolated habitat in the Arctic region. Tagging is a technology that has the potential to explore the activities of this species, where behavioral information can be collected…
One of the main difficulties to analyze modern spectroscopic datasets is due to the large amount of data. For example, in atmospheric transmittance spectroscopy, the solar occultation channel (SO) of the NOMAD instrument onboard the ESA…
Scientific disciplines, such as Behavioural Psychology, Anthropology and recently Social Signal Processing are concerned with the systematic exploration of human behaviour. A typical work-flow includes the manual annotation (also called…
Empathy, as defined in behavioral sciences, expresses the ability of human beings to recognize, understand and react to emotions, attitudes and beliefs of others. The lack of an operational definition of empathy makes it difficult to…
Existing camouflaged object detection (COD) methods rely heavily on large-scale datasets with pixel-wise annotations. However, due to the ambiguous boundary, annotating camouflage objects pixel-wisely is very time-consuming and…
Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) enables continuous monitoring of dynamic strain along tens of kilometers of optical fiber, generating massive datasets whose interpretation and automated analysis remain challenging. DAS measurements often…
Effective conservation of maritime environments and wildlife management of endangered species require the implementation of efficient, accurate and scalable solutions for environmental monitoring. Ecoacoustics offers the advantages of…
Data annotation is an important and necessary task for all NLP applications. Designing and implementing a web-based application that enables many annotators to annotate and enter their input into one central database is not a trivial task.…
Photo-identification (photo-id) is one of the main non-invasive capture-recapture methods utilised by marine researchers for monitoring cetacean (dolphin, whale, and porpoise) populations. This method has historically been performed…
Nowadays, due to the increasing amount of experimental data obtained by sequencing, the most interest is focused on determining the functions and characteristics of its individual parts of the genome instead of determining the nucleotide…
The COI mitochondrial gene is present in all animal phyla and in a few others, and is the leading candidate for species identification through DNA barcoding. Calculating a generalized form of total correlation on publicly available data on…
