Hannes Kath, Thiago Gouvêa and Daniel Sonntag were honoured with the Best PhD Colloquium Paper Award for their work "Active and Transfer Learning for Efficient Identification of Species in Multi-Label Bioacoustic Datasets" at the 4th International Conference on Information Technology for Social Good (GoodIT 2024) in Bremen.

The research presents innovative approaches to the detection of known and unknown species in large bioacoustic datasets and investigates methods to precisely identify as many species as possible with minimal annotation effort.
