Natural sounds have been recorded for millions of hours over the previous decades using passive acoustic monitoring. Improvements in deep learning models have vastly accelerated the analysis of la...

Science is difficult, but not for the reason you think. It’s not that conceiving a research program is difficult. It’s not that planning and performing an experiment or observational st…

At approximately 7:30 this morning, hundreds of black-clad members of Patriot Platform, a far-right vigilante unit, blockaded roads in Dover. They marched north east off...

Note. The below text is a general overview of the sorts of postdocs we often recruit. We are currently recruiting candidates for a 2-year position focusing on auditory perception in aging populations,...

Resignation of Black professor forces university to examine its approach to diversity, equality and inclusion

Deep learning is transforming the study of animal sound, enabling the automated identification of species, individuals, behaviors, and ecological patterns from large collections of recordings. While b...

Delivering AI forecasting tools to accelerate decarbonisation

This declaration calls for action to address the challenges posed by the use of artificial intelligence within mathematics research.

Mapping nature involves generating and analyzing massive streams of data in all shapes and forms. Consequently, biology and computer science are becoming increasingly intertwined.

Tasks We are excited to announce the 2026 BioDCASE task line up! Multi-Channel Alignment Alignment Task 1 Bioacoustic and environmental recordings are often captured using multiple devices operating simultaneously, for example with passive autonomous recorders or animal-borne loggers. When such recordings are not temporally aligned, analyses that rely on relative …

How new technology lets us listen in to the extraordinary sounds of the planet's waterways

Strolling through a forest, you may notice that the air is filled with sound. Birds sing, insects and small mammals rustle through the undergrowth, and at dusk bats squeak as they communicate with each other.These soundscapes contain a wealth of information about which animals are present, how many there are and how healthy an ecosystem may be. But analysing all that audio is a huge challenge.
