Friends in the @Khipu_AI I miss you all this year! 🫶 But check the 2025 BirdCLEF+ competition to automatically identify neotropical species using sound. It would be amazing to see LATAM teams competing and submitting their working notes #KHIPU2025 https://t.co/YwcXKjLAK1

[Juan Sebastián Cañas @jscanass]

En los últimos meses estuvimos trabajando en un dataset multi-taxonómico para bioacústica en el Magdalena Medio. Ahora será usado para la identificación automática en la competencia de BirdCLEF. Esperamos especialmente equipos de Latinoamérica, todxs invitadxs 🐸🦗🐒🐦🔊🤖
