ESO: An evolutionary algorithm for efficient model reduction via automated frequency band selection in passive acoustic monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is an important tool for wildlife monitoring. Deep learning, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), has become the standard approach for developing bioacoustic classifiers. However, real‐time classification remains challenging due to the high computational complexity of these models and the need ...
