[MARMAM] Automatic Manatee Call and Mastication Detection
Hello, We are happy to introduce our Manatee Call Detection Model. This model achieved 0.92 precision and 0.87 accuracy, recall, and F1 score on a previously unseen dataset. It can make binary detection of whether a manatee call is present or not in a 10-second window. It works best with 48 kHz sampling rate audio recorded in freshwater manatee habitats or rehabilitation facilities. Please test it here: demo.cetalingua.com. You can upload your own short sample and automatically calculate accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score for your dataset. We also have a Marine Manatee Call Detection Model for habitats with abundant snapping shrimp, and a Manatee Mastication Detection Model that detects mastication presence in 48 kHz sampling rate audio recorded in freshwater habitats or rehabilitation facilities. Please send us a short audio sample (research at cetalingua dot com) and we will calculate the performance metrics for your data. We can also train a highly specialized model for your habitat. Please email us at research at cetalingua dot com for more details. ___ MARMAM mailing list MARMAM@lists.uvic.ca https://lists.uvic.ca/mailman/listinfo/marmam
