Dear all,
Two news items from BioDCASE, the bioacoustics data challenge:
(1) The datasets have now been released for the 6 challenge tasks:
https://biodcase.github.io/challenge2026/
The datasets cover:
1. Multi-channel alignment
2. Supervised detection of strongly-labelled Antarctic blue and fin
whale calls
3. Bioacoustics for tiny hardware
4. Active Learning for Bioacoustics
5. Cross-Domain Mosquito Species Classification
6. Bird Counting
(2) We have published a preprint of a journal article about BioDCASE,
giving an in-depth consideration of task design as well as the outcomes
from last year:
https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.04.02.716062
Please do share these with students/colleagues interested in taking part
in animal sound analysis this year!
Best wishes
Dan Stowell and the BioDCASE organising committee
