Songbird Data Science Workshop 2018: AVGN video

As part of Birdsong 2018: Out on a Limb satellite to Neuroscience (SfN) 2018 conference last November, David Nicholson organized a Songbird Data Science Workshop discussing new algorithms and methods that sit at the interface between data science, birdsong, and machine learning.

I gave a presentation on this workshop about Animal Vocalization Generative Network (AVGN) a set of tools that I have been developing to study songbird vocalizations. AVGN has primarily been used for two things:

1. Unsupervised dimensionality reduction and labelling of birdsong, and
2. Generating novel syllables to explore the vocalization space of songbirds. The presentation is embedded below.
