Birdsong Identification

A machine learning system that classifies audio recordings of bird calls and songs, built with fine-tuned Wav2Vec2 and a feature pipeline tailored for noisy field data.

Project overview

Designed to help birdwatchers, researchers, and conservationists quickly identify species from audio captured in real-world environments.

  • Finetuned Wav2Vec2 for species classification
  • Audio augmentation and noise filtering for robustness
  • Custom feature extraction focused on bird vocalization patterns

Key contributions

An audio prediction pipeline with insights into model performance, dataset curation, and deployment readiness.
