  • 基于物种和属的联合预测,结合地理位置数据提升分类能力。

  • 适合需要跨区域识别稀有物种的生态保护研究者。

蝙蝠是生态系统健康的关键指标,在欧洲受保护,可靠种群监测至关重要。其隐秘的夜行性使被动声学监测成为必要,但回声定位叫声受行为与环境影响,不同物种间存在重叠,自动识别仍具挑战。本文提出一种深度学习框架,联合预测物种与属,并在推理阶段结合属的预测与地理分布信息。当某一属在某地区仅有一种物种时,模型可推断出训练中未包含的物种。这将地理信息从限制因素转变为扩展分类器有效分类体系的工具。基于涵盖35种欧洲蝙蝠的录音数据,我们评估了封闭集分类性能,分析了代表性不足物种的性能不稳定性,并开展控制性留出实验。罕见物种分析表明,有限的评估数据可能掩盖物种级性能;留出实验显示,属级预测与位置信息可恢复分类器无法直接识别的标签。地理分辨率使实际覆盖物种数从35种增至41种,覆盖率由73%提升至85%。据我们所知,这是目前报道的最广覆盖范围的欧洲蝙蝠自动化分类系统。更广泛地,该框架为通过粗粒度预测结合透明外部约束解决未见细粒度类别提供了实证支持。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Bats are key indicators of ecosystem health and are protected throughout Europe, making reliable population monitoring a conservation priority. Their cryptic nocturnal lifestyle makes passive acoustic monitoring essential, yet automated identification remains difficult as echolocation calls vary with behaviour and environment and overlap among species. We present a deep learning framework that jointly predicts species and genus and combines genus predictions with geographic species distributions at inference. When only one species of a predicted genus occurs in a region, the framework can resolve species absent from the learned taxonomy. This reframes geographic information as a means of extending, rather than constraining, a classifier's effective taxonomy. Using recordings spanning 35 European bat species, we evaluate closed-set classification, examine the instability of performance estimates for sparsely represented species, and conduct a controlled held-out proof-of-principle experiment. The rare-species analysis shows how limited evaluation data can obscure species-level performance, while the held-out experiment shows that genus predictions and location can recover labels unavailable to the species head. Geographic resolution extends operational coverage from 35 to 41 of the 48 native European bat species, increasing coverage from 73% to 85%. To our knowledge, this is the broadest operational coverage reported for automated European bat classification. More broadly, the bat framework provides proof of principle for resolving unseen fine-grained classes by combining coarse predictions with transparent external constraints.
