UK Birds #45

Closed LouisPi closed 3 years ago

Hi,

Does this work for UK birds? I'm guessing it's trained for American birds but I can't find anything that confirms that.

Many thanks, Louis

Hello @LouisPi. You are correct: BirdVoxDetect was trained on nocturnal flight calls from North American passerines: thrushes, sparrows, warblers, and cardinals.

Please see here for the list of species on which our current model is trained https://github.com/BirdVox/birdvoxclassify/blob/master/birdvoxclassify/resources/taxonomy/tv1fine.json

We could consider encompassing UK birds too but we need annotated training data (at the flight call level) for this.

Note: BVD performs 2 tasks: (1) detection of a flight call (generic), and (2) classification into a species. Right now the species are North American, but (depending on your needs) it may still be useful for detecting the presence of flight calls in continuous audio recordings even if they are from a different geography. Disclaimer: we have not evaluated this use case :)
