bacpipe: a Python package to make bioacoustic deep learning models accessible

arXiv:2604.11560v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 1. Natural sounds have been recorded for millions of hours over the previous decades using passive acoustic monitoring. Improvements in deep learning models have vastly accelerated the analysis of large portions of this data. While new models advance the state-of-the-art, accessing them using tools to harness their full potential is not always straightforward. Here we present bacpipe, a collection of bioacoustic deep learning models and evaluatio
