We just updated our paper “A Bird Song Detector for improving bird identification through Deep Learning: a case study from Doñana”, officially accepted in Ecological Informatics 📍 Doñana National Park 📊 Passive Acoustic Monitoring 🤖 YOLOv8 + BirdNET 📰 arxiv.org/abs/2503.15576
Alba Márquez-Rodríguez (@GrunCrow) has done an amazing work developing a Bird Song Detector. Many audios are empty or present overlapping bird songs. Previously applying a detector allows to select audios with songs, lower confidence score and improving classifications.
Our preprint "A Bird Song Detector for Improving Bird Identification through Deep Learning: A Case Study from Doñana" is now available! 🐦📢 🔗 arxiv.org/abs/2503.15576… This work is result of my JAE Intro fellowship, where I contributed to the #BIRDeep project at @ebdonana
I'm thrilled to share with you our lattest publication with the brilliant @GrunCrow as the first author. We propose here a two-stage pipeline for analyzing audios from a acoustic monitoring programme in Doñana; 1) using a detector of vocalizations, 2) a fine-tuned classificator.
First week of June I went to the SIBECOL & AEET meeting in Pontevedra I presented advances from #SEANIMALMOVE on using ecoacoustics for bird & marine mammal monitoring Some results are saved for upcoming papers — but the talk still won Best Multidisciplinary Predoc Oral Comm!



I don’t use this social media much, but I’m moving to Mastodon to join my fellow scientists and friends. You can now find me there: mastodon.social/@GrunCrow
La comunicación oral que presentaron fue “From prediction to accuracy in the validation of BirdNET in acoustic identification of birds in local ecosystems”.
🐟 La investigadora Alba Márquez presentó el proyecto #SEANIMALMOVE el pasado día 24 en las en las I Jornadas de Ecoinformática de la AEET, celebradas en Alcalá de Henares (Madrid) #inmar #investigación #congresos #divulgación @FCC_UCA @Divulga_UCA @univcadiz @campusdelmar
Damos comienzo a las I Jornadas de Ecoinformática de la AEET con foto de grupo y una excelente ponencia inaugural de @AnaBayes 🙂
Very inspiring the @ecoinf_aeet seminar by @antonalvarezbc & @PolskaCrow @_AEET_ youtube.com/watch?v=txJfuP…
Alba Márquez @GrunCrow gave an outstanding talk at #ecoacoustics24 presenting a bird song detector that she has developed during her MSc thesis using #BIRDeep data. The idea is to detect first bird songs in audio and classify later those selected audios with @BirdNET_App.
