Discriminative Singular Spectrum Classifier with Applications on Bioacoustic Signal Recognition
Automatic analysis of bioacoustic signals is a fundamental tool to evaluate the vitality of our planet. Frogs and bees, for instance, may act like biological sensors providing information about environmental changes. This task is fundamental for ecological monitoring still includes many challenges such as nonuniform signal length processing, degraded target signal due to environmental noise, and the scarcity of the labeled samples for training machine learning. To tackle these challenges, we present a bioacoustic signal classifier equipped with a discriminative mechanism to extract useful features for analysis and classification efficiently. The proposed classifier does not require a large amount of training data and handles nonuniform signal length natively. Unlike current bioacoustic recognition methods, which are task-oriented, the proposed model relies on transforming the input signals into vector subspaces generated by applying Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA). Then, a subspace is designed to expose discriminative features. The proposed model shares end-to-end capabilities, which is desirable in modern machine learning systems. This formulation provides a segmentation-free and noise-tolerant approach to represent and classify bioacoustic signals and a highly compact signal descriptor inherited from SSA. The validity of the proposed method is verified using three challenging bioacoustic datasets containing anuran, bee, and mosquito species. Experimental results on three bioacoustic datasets have shown the competitive performance of the proposed method compared to commonly employed methods for bioacoustics signal classification in terms of accuracy.

Beyond the Baseband: Adaptive Multi-Band Encoding for Full-Spectrum Bioacoustics Classification
Animals hear and vocalize across frequency ranges that differ substantially from humans, often extending into the ultrasonic domain. Yet most computational bioacoustics systems rely on audio models pre-trained at 16 kHz,…
ManifoldFlow: SPD-Relaxed Stiefel Layers with Learnable Singular Spectrum
Orthogonal and Stiefel layers give neural weights exact spectral control, but they also impose a strong modeling constraint: all represented singular values are fixed at one. Many settings that benefit from an orthonorma…
Ecologically-Constrained Task Arithmetic for Multi-Taxa Bioacoustic Classifiers Without Shared Data
Training data for bioacoustics is scattered across taxa, regions, and institutions. Centralizing it all is often infeasible. We show that independently fine-tuned BEATs encoders can be composed into a unified 661-species…
Uncertainty Calibration of Multi-Label Bird Sound Classifiers
Passive acoustic monitoring enables large-scale biodiversity assessment, but reliable classification of bioacoustic sounds requires not only high accuracy but also well-calibrated uncertainty estimates to ground decision…
On the use of Singular Spectrum Analysis
Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) or Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) are often used to de-noise univariate time series or to study their spectral profile. Both techniques rely on the eigendecomposition of the cor- rela…
