"Bird Sounds" on Experiments with Google "Bird Sounds" research paper from Aalborg University "Bird Sounds" on Experiments with Google

Description

Machine-learning map of bird calls that groups similar sounds from Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Macaulay Library into an explorable sonic field.

Built with Google Creative Lab as part of AI Experiments, the project applied an audio-embedding approach to a natural-history archive, making species similarity audible and browsable.
