Computing for Bird Colonies

Client: Steffen Oppel <Steffen.Oppel@rspb.org.uk>

The RSPB have many hours of acoustic data recorded from bird colonies, which is becoming a valuable resource for conservation work such as monitoring changes in colony size, or the relative composition of different species. Your task will be to create a convenient set of tools for machine learning experiments using these data. You will be free to make your own suggestions, but tools for segmentation and classification will be important starting points. The tools should be packaged in a way that is convenient and easy for RSPB staff without computer science training.
