Just peer-reviewed a possibly AI-generated paper. It was a critique of another study I was one of the original reviewers for.
It sounded polished, but every criticism was irrelevant or incorrect. The authors had never published in that field, but had published other "critiques" in unrelated fields

cool. XC will open up for strongly labelled recordings like these somewhere in 2025. #bioacoustics
A two-stage object detection model, trained on a new open-access dataset of 13,359 annotated bird vocalizations, achieved accuracy comparable to state-of-the-art systems despite using a smaller dataset.

An idea for folks translating long scientific documents (via Marco González Santoro): use DeepL Translate to save an enormous amount of time generating a rough translation.
Then, domain experts can focus their energy on editing the translation and fixing domain-specific jargon.

Hi, I'm Tessa!
I develop and apply #bioacoustic methods for conservation and ecology, e.g.:
- acoustic localization to monitor individual animals
- workflows and statistics for using AI models
- the impacts of pesticides used to combat invasive species
I love birds 🦉, moths 🦋, and #AudioMoths
