Machine Learning: Hot Takes

Multi-target vs Single-Target models

aka Multi-label vs Single-label

Multi-target = "checkboxes": each option (class) can be chosen or not, independently of the others Single-target model = "radio buttons": choose one and only one of the options (classes)

Setting up a Raspberry Pi 4.0 to use as a Swallow

These instructions are a work in progress

Operating system

flash SD card with raspberry pi OS using Raspberry PI Imager application
can now use the set-up features to:
- set the host-name (swallow-016, eg)
- enter wifi credentials for a local wifi network.
- enable SSH
set username ("pi" is good) and password (ask a lab member)

Notes from meeting with Curtis Craig on recorder testing 2/21/2020

Meeting with Curtis Craig on 2/21/2020

We chatted about approaches to microphone testing, recording impulse responses, simulating distant sound, and other topics. I need to email Curtis as a follow-up (get in touch with SMAART team, ask about crazy localizing mics, etc)

Localization

People are developing crazy microphones with many nodes for directionality (1000?).

Impulse Response measurement

People traditionally pop a balloon. In a large outdoor space, need a starter pistol to activate the space acoustically. But, since birds are not that loud a baloon is probably fine. Once, Curtis used a yacht cannon in a stadium.
