Very happy to announce that our paper "Bacpipe: A Python package to make bioacoustic deep learning models accessible" is now published in MEE (doi.org/10.1111/2041...) 🐸🐦🦂👂

Check out bacpipe to apply any bioacoustic deep learning model to your data.

Hey #bioacoustics world!
There is a new bacpipe version out! New models, gpu acceleration and much more! github.com/bioacoustic-... This one is packaged, so you can pip install bacpipe! 🎊🥹
And thanks a lot to @inesnolas.bsky.social for presenting our poster on using pretrained models at #ibac2025!

Thanks a lot for sharing this!

Have a read of my blog post and give bacpipe a try. I'd love to get feedback and if people want to contribute to this project to make it worthwhile for more people in the field, even better!
Embed ALL the sounds

New tool from @vskode.bsky.social to compare methods that classify & cluster animal sounds w/ embeddings: vectors extracted from neural network models

Nice example w/ AnuranSet from @juancanyas.bsky.social in post 👇

Code: github.com/bioacoustic-...
