DeepForestSound: a multi-species automatic detector for passive acoustic monitoring in African tropical forests, a case study in Kibale National Park

DeepForestSound (DFS) is a new multi-species automatic detection model designed for passive acoustic monitoring in African tropical forests, trained on data from Kibale National Park in Uganda. This model outperforms existing tools across eight taxonomic groups, especially for non-avian species like primates and elephants, by using a semi-supervised pipeline that enhances its ability to generalize across time and recording sites. Developers should watch how DFS is adopted for broader biodiversity monitoring and conservation efforts in similar ecosystems.
