Automated pipeline aids rare bird call classification

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed an automated pipeline for classifying bird calls, specifically focusing on rare species with limited available data. This system utilizes the embedding space of existing large bird classification networks and employs cosine similarity for detection. The pipeline includes preprocessing techniques for filtering and denoising to optimize classification with minimal training examples. In a case study, the system achieved 1.0 recall and 0.95 accuracy in detecting the critically endangered tooth-billed pigeon, providing a practical tool for conservation efforts. AI

IMPACT Provides a practical tool for conservationists to monitor endangered species using AI.

    An Automated Pipeline for Few-Shot Bird Call Classification: A Case Study with the Tooth-Billed Pigeon

    arXiv:2504.16276v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper presents a largely automated one-shot bird call classification pipeline, incorporating targeted manual quality control steps, designed for rare species absent from large publicly available classifiers like BirdN…
