Neural Representations, Natural Connections: What Transfers From Human Speech Foundation Models to Animal Vocalizations?
Tomás Arias-Vergara, Christopher Hauer, Héloïse Brotier +3
Speech-pretrained models have shown promise in animal bioacoustics, but the factors governing their cross-species transfer remain poorly understood. We evaluate 15 frozen encoders…

Detection and Classification of Cetacean Echolocation Clicks using Image-based Object Detection Methods applied to Advanced Wavelet-based Transformations
Christopher Hauer
A challenge in marine bioacoustic analysis is the detection of animal signals, like calls, whistles and clicks, for behavioral studies. Manual labeling is too time-consuming to pro…
