Andrea Burns, Lauren Harrell, Bart van Merriënboer +3
Perch 2.0 is a supervised bioacoustics foundation model pretrained on 14,597 species, including birds, mammals, amphibians, and insects, and has state-of-the-art performance on mul…
The Search for Squawk: Agile Modeling in Bioacoustics
Vincent Dumoulin, Otilia Stretcu, Jenny Hamer +16
Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has shown great promise in helping ecologists understand the health of animal populations and ecosystems. However, extracting insights from millio…
Heterogeneous graph neural networks for species distribution modeling
Lauren Harrell, Christine Kaeser-Chen, Burcu Karagol Ayan +7
Species distribution models (SDMs) are necessary for measuring and predicting occurrences and habitat suitability of species and their relationship with environmental factors. We i…
