Bird song comparison using deep learning trained from avian perceptual judgments.

PLoS computational biology
Our understanding of bird song, a model system for animal communication and the neurobiology of learning, depends critically on making reliable, validated comparisons between the complex multidimensional syllables that are used in songs. However, mos...

A novel skin cancer detection model using modified finch deep CNN classifier model.

Scientific reports
Skin cancer is one of the most life-threatening diseases caused by the abnormal growth of the skin cells, when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Early detection seems to be more crucial for reducing aberrant cell proliferation because the mortality r...

Design of a robotic zebra finch for experimental studies on developmental song learning.

The Journal of experimental biology
Birdsong learning has been consolidated as the model system of choice for exploring the biological substrates of vocal learning. In the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata), only males sing and they develop their song during a sensitive period in early ...

Automated annotation of birdsong with a neural network that segments spectrograms.

eLife
Songbirds provide a powerful model system for studying sensory-motor learning. However, many analyses of birdsong require time-consuming, manual annotation of its elements, called syllables. Automated methods for annotation have been proposed, but th...

Measuring context dependency in birdsong using artificial neural networks.

PLoS computational biology
Context dependency is a key feature in sequential structures of human language, which requires reference between words far apart in the produced sequence. Assessing how long the past context has an effect on the current status provides crucial inform...

Interhemispheric dominance switching in a neural network model for birdsong.

Journal of neurophysiology
Male zebra finches produce a sequence-invariant set of syllables, separated by short inspiratory gaps. These songs are learned from an adult tutor and maintained throughout life, making them a tractable model system for learned, sequentially ordered ...
