bioacoustics

Seeing Birdsong is a framework that transforms avian vocalizations into geometric forms and 3D visualizations, bridging art and acoustic science. It uses spectral descriptors to create data-rich structures for research, education, and artistic performance.

DeepMind announces new AI research applications for conservation, including a high-resolution deforestation risk model, species distribution mapping using Graph Neural Networks, and updates to the Perch bioacoustics model.

Google DeepMind released an updated version of Perch, an AI model for bioacoustic analysis that helps conservationists monitor endangered species through audio data. The new model improves bird species prediction, adapts better to underwater environments, and expands to include mammals, amphibians, and anthropogenic noise, with over 250,000 downloads of the original version.
