Researchers have repurposed an AI model designed for visual identification tasks to detect Bryde's whale calls contained within seismic data collected in the South China Sea. The detection system precisely identified calls more than 96% of the time and even identified some call events that were missed when the data were examined by hand, according to the study published in Seismological Research Letters.
