HawkEars will be of interest to practitioners studying acoustic wildlife in Canada and the northern United States, but the open-source code can also be used for developing classifiers for other regions.

We used an embedding-based search to generate strong labels from weakly-labelled open-access training datasets. Our regional model outperformed existing global models, BirdNET, and Perch, by substantial margins, setting benchmarks for state-of-the-art classification performance.
