Based on results from the VAST challenge 2017, Kasios Furniture manufacturing company has become a primary suspect of contributing to the reduction of nesting pairs of the Rose-crested Blue Pipit, a favorite bird of Mistford residents and visitors to the Boonsong Lekagul Nature Preserve. Findings suggested they dumped process waste in the northeast region of the Preserve!
Kasios is unhappy with the challenge findings and has launched investigations on their part. They claim that Rose-crested Blue Pipits are still plentiful in the Preserve, living and nesting happily. To support this claim, they provided what is supposedly a set of Pipit bird calls recorded across the Preserve recently together with the recording locations.
Normally, we would have called on Mitch Vogel, an ornithology grad student from Mistford College who investigated the plight of the Pipit in last year's challenge. However, he is currently working far from Mistford without internet access, and cannot be contacted easily for extended periods of time.
Mistford residents and the Preserve rangers seem satisfied with Kasio's claims based on their recordings. Although Mistford College does not have another Pipit expert to consult, they have a collection of bird calls from the Preserve that have been identified accurately. These bird calls could be used to classify and identify Kasio's recordings with the help of visual analytics and machine learning! Banner image credit to: Marshal Hedin
