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

Bird #bioacoustics folks: @kitzeslab.bsky.social is hosting a hands-on "Advanced topics in bioacoustic monitoring" workshop at AOS 2025!

We'll make custom sound ID models, estimate birds' positions using acoustic localization, and discuss how to use sound ID results to make ecological insights.

To review machine learning predictions, we use a Jupyter Notebook to review files from each site in order from highest- to lowest-scoring: github.com/kitzeslab/bi...

We do this for each day of recording in order to create detection histories for occupancy modeling.

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.
