Data accompanying the paper: "Passive Acoustic Monitoring and Transfer Learning"

This dataset contains approximately 10 hours of audio that contained calls of the vulnerable Thyolo Alethe (Chamaetylas choloensis). The audio data was collected in the Mount Mulanje Biosphere Reserve, Malawi using 10 Audiomoths. The sampling rate was set to 32,000Hz and the recordings were obtained over five days in November 2020. A larger dataset exists.
The annotations files are in (.svl) format which is compatible with SonicVisualiser (https://www.sonicvisualiser.org/). Each audio file has a corresponding .svl file. Each .svl has segments of audio that were manually annotated as either ''thyolo-alethe" (presence class) or "noise" (absence class) -- this dataset can be used to train a binary classification model.
The audio files are provided in "Audio.zip" and the manually verified annotation in "Annotations.zip".
