> Interesting enough to do on a boring weekend, perhaps? A weekend, or a PhD! The Machine Listening group at QMUL covers bird audio - see Dan Stowell's work for example: http://c4dm.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/people/dans.html http://c4dm.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/people/dans.html Here's a Bird Audio Detection Challenge from 2018: https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/2041-210X.13103 https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111... http://dcase.community/challenge2018/task-bird-audio-detection http://dcase.community/challenge2018/task-bird-audio-detecti...
