Humans outperform Merlin Sound ID in field-based point-count surveys - American Ornithological Society
Merlin’s sound classifier feature has revolutionized interaction with the avian world since its release in 2021. It works by learning the unique features of a species’ vocalization, and then recognizi...

Actually good review of #AI in #bioacoustics, from @kitzeslab.bsky.social et al. in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social:
🗣️ "...a deep understanding of research context is required to develop and apply appropriate AI models"
Heck yeah brother
Incl. case study of how expt design impacts AI

HEY!!!!
I’m going to be at AOS in St. Louis presenting my first first-author publication, comparing Merlin Sound ID to point counters in field surveys :) you should come see my talk in Methods & Models 3 on Thursday @ 10:30!

Hi everyone!
My name is Pat and I'm a PhD student in the @kitzeslab.bsky.social at the University of Pittsburgh. My research focuses on using #AudioMoths to monitor birds in restored forests across Pennsylvania. I also use machine learning classifiers to detect birdsong within my recordings.
