Congratulations to Joachim Poutaraud for his new article, which opens up new perspectives on the exploration of soundscapes without prior knowledge of the sounds they contain. He proposes a new technique called Meta-embedding Clustering (MEC) to improve clustering quality in unlabeled bird sound datasets that might be very helpful for exploring sound diversity present in complex ecological systems such as tropical forests.
