Description

Machine learning for efficient segregation and labeling of potential biological sounds in long-term underwater recordings.

Trained weights of model, in Python.

Code to reproduce publication results, (re)train the models, or use the models for inference can be found on: GitHub - lifewatch/sound-segregation-and-categorization (https://github.com/lifewatch/sound-segregation-and-categorization).
