Earth Species Project
AI foundation models and open-source tools to decode animal communication
Earth Species Project is an open-source non-profit research organization using artificial intelligence to decode non-human communication and bio-logger data. They develop open foundation models like NatureLM-audio along with shared data infrastructure to help scientists detect, classify, and analyze vocal patterns across species.
What it's for
- Analyze and classify large bioacoustic datasets across animal species
- Evaluate machine learning models on animal vocalization and movement benchmarks
- Access and standardize cross-species bioacoustic datasets using alp-data
- Identify behavioral correlations in wildlife communication recordings
Features
- NatureLM-audio large audio-language foundation model tailored for animal vocalizations
- alp-data open-source Python library providing unified access to 35+ bioacoustic datasets
- Bio-logger Ethogram Benchmark (BEBE) for evaluating ML on sensor and vocalization data
- Public research publications and open datasets released on Hugging Face and GitHub
- Community Discord for researchers working in Animal Language Processing (ALP)
