- Interested in acoustic ID in animals? 🐾🎤 We put 16 mammal datasets through a vocal showdown—MFCCs and Random Forests came out on top 🏆 Want cleaner, comparable caller ID across species? We've got guidelines and ready-to-use functions for that🥳 #Bioacoustics #WildlifeTech #MachineLearning
- 📢 Our new paper is out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social! A step toward more comparable approaches in bioacoustics! We tested how different acoustic feature extraction and classification methods affect caller ID classification accuracy. Read about it here: 🔗 shorturl.at/F31Pb
- Super interesting PhD position working with a great team @primatenzentrum.bsky.social And lemurs!
