arXiv:2606. 14662v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pretrained audio embeddings are standard in bioacoustics, yet little is known about which acoustic features these models encode, nor which are useful for a given task.
arXiv:2607. 14072v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bioacoustic foundation models rely on large-scale citizen science platforms like Xeno-Canto for geographically and ecologically diverse data.
Bioacoustic foundation models rely on large-scale citizen science platforms like Xeno-Canto for geographically and ecologically diverse data. Recent work has shown that supervision alone can produce SotA species detection models when trained on this large-scale data -- however, there remains unutilized potential in the form of recording metadata readily available within these community-driven data hubs.
arXiv:2606. 13236v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Passive acoustic monitoring holds great promise for ecological inference, yet existing automated tools are typically narrowly trained and non-transferable.
arXiv:2607. 22458v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Do learned audio embeddings encode structure that nobody told them to encode?
arXiv:2512. 10120v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: General-purpose audio representations aim to map acoustically variable instances of the same event to nearby points, resolving content identity in a zero-shot setting.
arXiv:2607. 14474v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper details the DS@GT ARC team's approach to BirdCLEF+ 2026, multi-label detection of animal vocalizations in soundscapes from the Pantanal wetlands.
arXiv:2607. 03806v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio foundation models are widely adopted as general-purpose feature extractors, yet the internal structure of their learned representations remains insufficiently understood.
arXiv:2607. 03304v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable analysis of bird vocalisations in passive acoustic monitoring requires models handling multiple, imbalanced annotation targets.
arXiv:2605. 12534v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Most work in audio enhancement targets human speech, while bioacoustics is less studied due to noisy recordings and the distinct traits of animal sounds.
arXiv:2607. 01974v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This technical report describes our system for Task 1 of the DCASE 2026 Challenge, which aims to classify heterogeneous audio recordings according to the Broad Sound Taxonomy (BST).
arXiv:2505. 18726v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Can we determine someone's geographic location solely from the sounds they hear?
