New benchmark to spur progress in understanding animal behavior! The latest generation of animal-borne sensors ('bio-loggers') are recording vast troves of multimodal data on animal behavior and communication - from vocalizations to movement and environmental data. (1/n)

Thank you Joshua Rapp Learn and Discover Magazine for the opportunity to discuss how Earth Species Project (ESP) aims to support conservation biology. We're honored to collaborate on novel ML approaches in support of ethology and behavioral neuroscience research.

Where would machine learning research be without benchmarks! So much potential for this field to support the ecologist workflow.

In partnership with FootPrint Coalition, Earth Species Project (ESP) Senior AI Research Scientists Maddie Cusimano and Sara C Keen to advise on new grant program to fund animal communication research.

Super proud of the Earth Species Project (ESP) research scientists and our partner biologists, whose work is beautifully described by Camille Bromley in this recent piece in WIRED. Thank you for covering the importance and impact of understanding our co-species on Earth and how we’re going to

What if we could understand what animals are saying? The Earth Species Project (ESP) project is using AI to decipher the language of the wild, and they're making groundbreaking progress. Awesome work by my good friend Aza Raskin and team scientificamerican.com/article/artifi…

This is an incredible, fully-funded Ph.D. opportunity for researchers interested in developing and applying AI and machine learning research to animal communication. Applications are due throughout October. bioacousticai.eu/recruiting-phd…

Thank you Sam Joiner , Persis Love , Irene de la Torre Arenas and Sam Learner and John Thornhill for this compelling multimedia story about how artificial intelligence methods could help unlock incredible scientific discoveries about the rich and complex lives of our co-species on Earth.

If you’re going to CVPR and are excited to learn more about our pioneering work at the intersection of machine learning and animal communication, say hello to Masato Hagiwara, Earth Species Project (ESP) Senior AI Research Scientist and author of the first foundation model of animal signals

Following the recent release of BirdAVES, my colleagues and I at Earth Species Project (Earth Species Project (ESP)) wrote a blogpost to reflect on using the model to unlock new possibilities in the field of animal communication & conservation Check out the post here: earthspecies.org/blog/introduci…
