Efficient and accurate bird sound classification is of important for ecology, habitat protection and scientific research, as it plays a central role in monitoring the distribution and abundance of species. However, prevailing methods…

Recent advances in speech recognition and translation rely on hundreds of thousands of hours of Internet speech data. We argue that state-of-the art accuracy can be reached without relying on web-scale data. Canary - multilingual ASR and…

Automated bioacoustic analysis aids understanding and protection of both marine and terrestrial animals and their habitats across extensive spatiotemporal scales, and typically involves analyzing vast collections of acoustic data. With the…

Recent progress in singing voice separation has primarily focused on supervised deep learning methods. However, the scarcity of ground-truth data with clean musical sources has been a problem for long. Given a limited set of labeled data,…

Bird sound data collected with unattended microphones for automatic surveys, or mobile devices for citizen science, typically contain multiple simultaneously vocalizing birds of different species. However, few works have considered the…

This work focuses on reliable detection of bird sound emissions as recorded in the open field. Acoustic detection of avian sounds can be used for the automatized monitoring of multiple bird taxa and querying in long-term recordings for…

Automatic species classification of birds from their sound is a computational tool of increasing importance in ecology, conservation monitoring and vocal communication studies. To make classification useful in practice, it is crucial to…

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…

We propose a semi-supervised singing synthesizer, which is able to learn new voices from audio data only, without any annotations such as phonetic segmentation. Our system is an encoder-decoder model with two encoders, linguistic and…

The importance of automated and objective monitoring of dietary behavior is becoming increasingly accepted. The advancements in sensor technology along with recent achievements in machine-learning--based signal-processing algorithms have…

Automated classification of animal sounds is a prerequisite for large-scale monitoring of biodiversity. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are among the most promising algorithms but they are slow, often achieve poor classification in the…

Ecological and conservation studies monitoring bird communities typically rely on species classification based on bird vocalizations. Historically, this has been based on expert volunteers going into the field and making lists of the bird…

Fine-grained categorisation has been a challenging problem due to small inter-class variation, large intra-class variation and low number of training images. We propose a learning system which first clusters visually similar classes and…

Accurate ground truth estimation in medical screening programs often relies on coalitions of experts and peer second opinions. Algorithms that efficiently aggregate noisy annotations can enhance screening workflows, particularly when data…

Current deep learning paradigms largely benefit from the tremendous amount of annotated data. However, the quality of the annotations often varies among labelers. Multi-observer studies have been conducted to study these annotation…

Complex sequencing rules observed in birdsongs provide an opportunity to investigate the neural mechanism for generating complex sequential behaviors. To relate the findings from studying birdsongs to other sequential behaviors, it is…

Biodiversity loss poses a significant threat to humanity, making wildlife monitoring essential for assessing ecosystem health. Avian species are ideal subjects for this due to their popularity and the ease of identifying them through their…

Taking advantage of the structure of large datasets to pre-train Deep Learning models is a promising strategy to decrease the need for supervised data. Self-supervised learning methods, such as contrastive and its variation are a promising…

Detailed structural and species information on individual tree level is increasingly important to support precision forestry, biodiversity conservation, and provide reference data for biomass and carbon mapping. Point clouds from airborne…

Music source separation (MSS) faces challenges due to the limited availability of correctly-labeled individual instrument tracks. With the push to acquire larger datasets to improve MSS performance, the inevitability of encountering…
