BEANS-Next and ROOTS: Broadening Audio-Language Capabilities for Bioacoustics
Christos Plachouras, David Robinson, Marius Miron +17
Bioacoustics and ethology encompass a wide range of audio understanding tasks, many of which stand to benefit from recent advances in large audio-language models. However, progress…
Beyond task performance: Decoding bioacoustic embeddings with speech features
Ines Nolasco, Jules Cauzinille, Marius Miron +8
Pretrained audio embeddings are standard in bioacoustics, yet little is known about which acoustic features these models encode, nor which are useful for a given task. This hinders…
Multi-layer attentive probing improves transfer of audio representations for bioacoustics
Marius Miron, David Robinson, Masato Hagiwara +15
Probing heads map the representations learned from audio by a machine learning model to downstream task labels and are a key component in evaluating representation learning. Most b…
BAGEL: Benchmarking Animal Knowledge Expertise in Language Models
Jiacheng Shen, Masato Hagiwara, Milad Alizadeh +9
Large language models have shown strong performance on broad-domain knowledge and reasoning benchmarks, but it remains unclear how well language models handle specialized animal-re…
AVEX: What Matters for Animal Vocalization Encoding
Marius Miron, David Robinson, Milad Alizadeh +14
Bioacoustics, the study of sounds produced by living organisms, plays a vital role in conservation, biodiversity monitoring, and behavioral studies. Many tasks in this field, such…
Robust detection of overlapping bioacoustic sound events
Louis Mahon, Benjamin Hoffman, Logan James +7
We propose a method for accurately detecting bioacoustic sound events that is robust to overlapping events, a common issue in domains such as ethology, ecology and conservation. Wh…
Biodenoising: Animal Vocalization Denoising without Access to Clean Data
Marius Miron, Sara Keen, Jen-Yu Liu +5
Animal vocalization denoising is a task similar to human speech enhancement, which is relatively well-studied. In contrast to the latter, it comprises a higher diversity of sound p…
