TweetyBERT: Uncovering Canary Song Syntax with Tim Gardner

In this conversation, Tim Gardner delves into the foundations of canary syntax and introduces TweetyBERT, a self-supervised transformer model designed to analyze bird songs without human-labeled data. Although still in its early stages, this research holds immense potential for advancing our comprehension of complex singers' vocalizations.

This video is part of the Interspecies Conversations lecture series. A regular online lecture series that invites leading professors, scientists, researchers, and students to share and present their work around interspecies communication and approaches to deciphering the signals of other animals. It aims to showcase emerging ideas and discoveries and include open discussions where the community can join the conversation with ideas and feedback.
