More than a whistle

A recent paper using COMPASS data has been published in Frontiers in Marine Science with a focus on developing low-cost machine learning approaches to detect marine sound sources automatically.  This research involved data collected during the project by Scottish Association for Marine Science, Marine Scotland and Agri-food and Bioscience Institute.  The work from this research provides an “efficient framework for mining big marine acoustic data, for information on temporal scales relevant to the management of marine protected areas and the conservation of vulnerable species”.
