A Deep Zero-Inflated Model of North Atlantic Right Whale Presence To Support Blue Economy Management in the U.S. East Coast
The paper introduces the Deep Zero-Inflated Bernoulli (DeepZIB) model, a deep statistical framework that jointly estimates latent North Atlantic Right Whale presence and detection probabilities from passive acoustic monitoring data. It addresses challenges such as zero inflation, imperfect detection, and complex habitat dependencies, and demonstrates improved predictive performance and model adequacy through simulations and real-world application along the U.S. East Coast. The model produces high-resolution, spatiotemporal presence maps that can inform targeted, risk-aware management of blue economy activities.

Efficient Passive Acoustic Monitoring of Killer Whales Using a Two-Stage Detection and Ecotype Classification Cascade
The paper presents a lightweight ResNet-based two-stage cascade for passive acoustic monitoring of killer whales. First, it detects vocalizations, then it classifies confident detections into five eastern North Pacific ecotypes, abstaining on ambiguous calls. The pipeline achieves high macro‑F1 scores on the DCLDE 2027 dataset and improves real‑time inference speed, while active learning adapts the detector to new acoustic environments.

GetNetUPAM: Ecologically Informed Nested Cross-Validation and Noise-Robust Attention for Marine Bioacoustic Monitoring
arXiv:2509. 04682v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deploying reliable bioacoustic monitoring systems requires models that generalize under high-noise, low-SNR conditions and evaluation protocols that expose deployment-relevant failure modes, gaps largely unaddressed in current UPAM practice.
