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 #prattle 💬

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.
