... check this out. Heavily xeno-cantofied. Pity the last sets of Orthoptera on XC were not included, but hey: arxiv.org/abs/2503.15074 "InsectSet459: an open dataset of insect sounds for bioacoustic machine learning." 32000+ recordings of about 1000 #orthoptera species on XC now. #bioacoustics

Really cool to see our AI for bioacoustics work in the MIT Technology Review! BirdVox was a fantastic project that beyond posing a fascinating research problem, introduced me to the world of bird watching and deepened my appreciation of the natural world www.technologyreview.com/2024/12/18/1...
