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…
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…
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…
Synthetic data enables context-aware bioacoustic sound event detection
Benjamin Hoffman, David Robinson, Marius Miron +8
We propose a methodology for training foundation models that enhances their in-context learning capabilities within the domain of bioacoustic signal processing. We use syntheticall…
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…
