NEWS
- The NEW Challenge on clics of cetacean : DOCC10 with ENS ULM / CdF, 2 Go of selected clics !
- The 8th DCLDE challenge on whale sound classification is open, with 4 To High SR and 100 Go Low SR sets !
- 600 000 Hz Sampling Rate Stereo JASON recordings of Univ. Toulon DYNI SMIoT records Physeters in Mauritus with expert diver F. Sarano. We then detail the BIOSONAR and emissions of Cachalot (current Phd Thesis of M. Ferrari, Dir H. Glotin and M. Asch).
- Call for participation: the BirdLifeClef 2018 lab co-org with EADM, INRIA, XenoCanto is open
We run this new bird challenge with complex and stereo soundscapes. The Data set will be an enriched with new contributions of the Xeno-Canto network and a geographic extension. It will contain 70K recordings covering between 1500 and 2000 species of central and south America. It will be the largest bioacoustic dataset ever used in the literature. As the soundscapes test samples appeared to be very challenging in previous years (with an accuracy below 30%), we will concentrate our new data production effort on that scenario, including new soundscapes recordings from LSIS BRILAM STICAMSUD amazonian expeditions. To better understand what makes state-of-the-art methods fail on such content, we will notably provide new test soundscape recordings containing time-coded bird species annotations.

Internship 2018
- EADM supports the 8th Int. Detection, Classification, Localization, and Density Estimation of marine mammals using passive acoustics, UPMC, Paris, 4-8 June 2018. The DCLDE Workshop brings together researchers and engineers from universities, research institutes, government organizations, and industry, dealing with all aspects of acoustics, signal processing, pattern recognition, mathematics, and computer sciences applied to the study of the biology, ethology and ecology of marine mammals and also their environment and the potential effects of anthropogenic activities. A challenge is offered to compare methods, algorithms, and results. This time will be awarded the team that will best detect and classify the underwater acoustic environment.
CHALLENGES
- THE 1500 species BIRDLIFECLEF 2018 LAB CO-ORG WITH EADM, INRIA, XENOCANTO IS OPEN- Chernobyl Bird Audio Detection challenge, with QMUL UK and MADICS. Detecting bird sounds in audio is an important task for automatic wildlife monitoring, as well as in citizen science and audio library management. The current generation of software tools require manual work from the user: to choose the algorithm, to set the settings, and to post-process the results. This is holding bioacoustics back in embracing its “big data” era: let’s make this better! In collaboration with the IEEE Signal Processing Society we propose a research data challenge for you to create a robust and scalable bird detection algorithm. We offer new datasets collected in real live bioacoustics monitoring projects, and an objective, standardised evaluation framework. MADICS EADM provides prizes for the strongest submissions. Summer 2017: Koos, Greece, Special session at conference, to present and discuss leading algorithms.
