Google introduced a new whale bioacoustics model capable of identifying eight distinct whale species and multiple calls for two of those species. The model, which includes the recently attributed “Biotwang” sounds of Bryde’s whales, can classify vocalizations across a broad acoustic range and has been used to label over 200,000 hours of underwater recordings. This breakthrough in whale vocalization classification could significantly enhance conservation efforts and ecological research by improving researchers’ ability to track whale populations in remote environments.
