A recent breakthrough in bioacoustic deep learning technologies – a method for automated detection of animal sounds – has been made at Cornell K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics. Lisa Yang Conservation Center. Dr. Shyam Madhusudhana, a postdoctoral researcher in the Lab of Ornithology, has built a toolkit that enables bioacoustics to create complex voice recognition models with just a few lines of code.

Blue whale D-calls are calls of varying frequency produced by male and female whales, unlike the well-known whale song produced only by males. While whale songs are often predictable and easily identifiable, D calls are erratic and are produced less frequently.
