Bird sounds and machine learning

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Isak Herman .

Bird sound recordings contain a wealth of information – about species, individuals, and their interactions. Applying machine learning to such data has applications in conservation, animal behaviour research, and comparative linguistics. The rich structure of bird sounds is apparent to us as listeners, but how could we “decode” it?

I will describe an approach to automatic classification of bird species which is designed to fit the characteristics of bird sounds: often noisy, often fast-modulated, often more than one bird, and many candidate species. This approach is currently being deployed in our Warblr bird recognition app.

I will also describe recent work on more structured analysis of sound recordings: tracking individuals in a sound scene, and modelling bird “conversations”.
