Clink","Holger Klinck"],"abstract":"The recent improvements in recording technology, data storage and battery life have led to an increased interest in the use of passive acoustic monitoring for a variety of research questions. One of the main obstacles in implementing wide scale acoustic monitoring programs in terrestrial environments is the lack of user-friendly, open source programs for processing large sound archives. Here we describe the new, open-source R package GIBBONFINDR which has functions for detection, classification and visualization of acoustic signals using a variety of readily available machine learning algorithms in the R programming environment. We provide a case study showing how GIBBONFINDR functions can be used in a workflow to detect and classify Bornean gibbon (Hylobates muelleri) calls in long-term acoustic data sets recorded in Danum Valley Conservation Area, Sabah, Malaysia. Machine learning is currently one of the most rapidly growing fields-- with applications across many disciplines-- and our goal is to make commonly used signal processing techniques and machine learning algorithms readily available for ecologists who are interested in incorporating bioacoustics techniques into their research.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.02572v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.02572v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"gibbonr-an-r-package-for-the-detection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/DenaJGibbon/gibbonR-package","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"acoustic-modelling","task_name":"Acoustic Modelling"},{"task_slug":"machine-learning","task_name":"BIG-bench Machine Learning"},{"task_slug":"classification","task_name":"General Classification"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
