Audio-only Bird Classification Using Unsupervised Feature Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe our method for automatic bird species classification, which uses raw audio without segmentation and without using any auxiliary metadata. It successfully classifies among 501 bird categories, and was by far the highest scoring audio-only bird recognition algorithm submitted to BirdCLEF 2014. Our method uses unsupervised feature learning, a technique which learns regularities in spectro-temporal content without reference to the training labels, which helps a classifier to generalise to further content of the same type. Our strongest submission uses two layers of feature learning to capture regularities at two different time scales.

Automatic large-scale classification of bird sounds is strongly improved by unsupervised feature learning
Automatic species classification of birds from their sound is a computational tool of increasing importance in ecology, conservation monitoring and vocal communication studies. To make classification useful in practice, it is crucial to improve its accuracy while ensuring that it can run at big data scales. Many approaches use acoustic measures based on spectrogram-type data, such as the Mel-fr...

Multi-label Bird Species Classification competition provides an excellent opportunity to analyze the effectiveness of acoustic processing and mutlilabel learning. We propose an unsupervised feature extraction and generation approach based on latest advances in deep neural network learning, which can be applied generically to acoustic data. With state-of-the-art approaches from multilabel learni...
متن کاملMirex 2012 Submission Audio Classification Using High-dimensional Representations Learned on Standard Audio Features
We present a training/test framework for audio classification using learned feature representations. In contentbased music information retrieval tasks, standard audio features such as MFCC and chroma are typically used to represent the music content. As an alternative, there is increasing interest in learning feature representations from data using unsupervised learning algorithms. In the previ...
متن کاملBirdCLEF 2015 Submission: Unsupervised Feature Learning from Audio
We describe our results submitted to BirdCLEF 2015 for classifying among 999 tropical bird species. Our test attained a MAP score of over 30% in the official results. This note is not a self-contained paper, since our system was largely the same as used in BirdCLEF 2014 and described in detail elsewhere. The method uses raw audio without segmentation and without using any auxiliary metadata. an...
