Non-invasive acoustic classification of adult asthma using an XGBoost model with vocal biomarkers.

Scientific reports
Traditional diagnostic methods for asthma, a widespread chronic respiratory illness, are often limited by factors such as patient cooperation with spirometry. Non-invasive acoustic analysis using machine learning offers a promising alternative for ob...

A Public Dataset of Annotated Orcinus orca Acoustic Signals for Detection and Ecotype Classification.

Scientific data
Killer whales (Orcinus orca) exhibit significant ecological and genetic diversity, with three primary sympatric populations in the Northeast Pacific: Resident, Bigg's (Transient), and Offshore. Each population is characterized by distinct foraging ha...

Listening deeper: neural networks unravel acoustic features in preterm infant crying.

Scientific reports
Early infant crying provides critical insights into neurodevelopment, with atypical acoustic features linked to conditions such as preterm birth. However, previous studies have focused on limited and specific acoustic features, hindering a more compr...

Hidden Markov model for acoustic pesticide exposure detection and hive identification in stingless bees.

PloS one
Pollinator populations are declining globally at an unprecedented rate, driven by factors such as pathogens, habitat loss, climate change, and the widespread application of pesticides. Although colony losses remain difficult to prevent, precision bee...

Optimal feature selection and model explanation for reef fish sound classification.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences
Fish produce a wide variety of sounds that contribute to the soundscapes of aquatic environments. In reef systems, these sounds are important acoustic cues for various ecological processes. Artificial intelligence methods to detect, classify and iden...

Acoustic monitoring for tropical insect conservation.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences
Monitoring the species-specific sounds produced by insects could provide us with a rapid, reliable, non-invasive measure of tropical ecosystem health and biodiversity. Although acoustic biodiversity monitoring has made rapid progress over the past de...

Generation of ultrasonic and audible sound waves for the automatic classification of packaging waste in reverse vending machines.

Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
Reverse vending machines (RVMs) are essential for promoting waste sorting at the source by offering incentives for recycling. However, current RVMs, which primarily rely on expensive sensors such as barcode scanners and computer vision systems, face ...

Decoding Poultry Welfare from Sound-A Machine Learning Framework for Non-Invasive Acoustic Monitoring.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Acoustic monitoring presents a promising, non-invasive modality for assessing animal welfare in precision livestock farming. In poultry, vocalizations encode biologically relevant cues linked to health status, behavioral states, and environmental str...

Unlocking the soundscape of coral reefs with artificial intelligence: pretrained networks and unsupervised learning win out.

PLoS computational biology
Passive acoustic monitoring can offer insights into the state of coral reef ecosystems at low-costs and over extended temporal periods. Comparison of whole soundscape properties can rapidly deliver broad insights from acoustic data, in contrast to de...

Multiclass CNN Approach for Automatic Classification of Dolphin Vocalizations.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Monitoring dolphins in the open sea is essential for understanding their behavior and the impact of human activities on the marine ecosystems. Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) is a non-invasive technique for tracking dolphins, providing continuous d...
