DeepSqueak

Great article on animal communication efforts out today in the @nytimes with a shoutout to @DeepSqueak_USV

Want to conveniently explore USV data generated in @DeepSqueak_USV? Check out SqueakR: a free, open-source experiment superstructure created by @SimonOgundare SqueakR also has an #rshiny dashboard to create visualizations without any code! osimon81.github.io/SqueakR

Elizabeth Ferguson chats with @NPR regarding our use of DeepSqueak, a tool originally developed to detect rat vocalizations, for detection of marine mammal calls. #oceanscience #deeplearning #passiveacoustics npr.org/2022/05/31/110…

Been training a @DeepSqueak_USV detector with Pcal USVs and finally starting to get some unsupervised classification results. So cool! @Marler_and_Lab

Happy to announce a long-awaited exhibit from @ian__ingram, an LA-based artist who builds robots that interact with animals. He turned his attention to rats for this show @UCIrvine, much to my delight. Come by the opening this weekend if you're in SoCal! beallcenter.uci.edu/exhibitions/ia…

Detailed instructions for using DeepSqueak v3 can be found in the Github Wiki: github.com/DrCoffey/DeepS… General questions and discussion are happening on Gitter: gitter.im/DeepSqueak_Com…

We have improved contour-based clustering and added NEW contour-invariant clustering with Variational Auto Encoders. VAEs help cluster calls with complex shape. Review your clusters with a streamlined Clustering GUI!

Introducing DeepSqueak v3! This is no minor update; this is a complete redesign based on 2 years of feedback from the USV community. Explore the improvements and new features below. Big thanks to Russell Marx, Robert Ciszek, & Lara Valderrabano! github.com/DrCoffey/DeepS…

For all your tracking needs! TRex biorxiv.org/content/10.110… provides markerless identification of up to 100 animals (flies, fish, locusts, termites, mice, whatever): platform independent (including native M1), very fast, and has a rich user interface. Amazing work @po7ooo!

DeepSqueak V3 is coming soon, check out the test build! github.com/DrCoffey/DeepS… 𝗩𝟯 𝗠𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗨𝗽𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀! -Brand New YOLO V2 Networks -Load & Navigate Entire Audio Files -Hand Box Calls and Train a New Species Detector -VAE Clustering

Presenting USV Lightning! I think these long 22s are so loud they are breaking the microphones 😅

Test out the new version of @DeepSqueak_USV! github.com/DrCoffey/DeepS… Navigate entire audio files, add new boxes, and create new training sets from scratch. Plus more to come 😉🐬 This is very much in beta, so discuss issues with the community on gitter.im/DeepSqueak_Com…
