I have made Recognizer models for a few bird species. This takes up time. I thought it would be good to have a place where people can share ‘Recognizer’ models they have developed for different species and share them with the research community.
That's a very good idea! There is a growing interest in citizen science applications that could allow not only researchers, but in particular common people to identify and classify as much species as possible, and to report them in the framework of monitoring projects. Artificial intelligence and good ornithological skills could be the solution.
Dear Andrea,
I agree, if we could get citizen scientists to develop high accuracy 'Recognizer Models' using the BirdScope program or Raven program, this would be great. However, I am not sure how many of them are out there.
My goal is to have a webpage where individuals whom have developed auditory 'Recognizer' models for both the BirdScope and Raven programs could then upload these models onto the webpage so we eventually create a database of these models. We could then organize models by taxa (Bird, Amphibian, Warbler, Sparrow etc.). This would be similar to how people download code to run statistical analysis through the 'R' program. My student, Andrew Wolfgang, talked to Wildlife Acoustics about hosting such a site, but they were not interested.
