This repository contains the code for my Master Thesis project about how fireworks affect birdsong.

Analyzing the impact of fireworks on birdsong

This repository contains the code for the analysis done as part of my Master's Information Studies: Data Science at the University of Amsterdam.

Overview of the code

The analysis is separated over multiple notebook files, the following table gives a quick overview of the relevant notebooks.

Filename	Description
data_collection.ipynb	Contains the code for collecting and processing the data from different sources like GBIF and xeno-canto
eda.ipynb	Contains the exploratory data analysis and code for saving audio fragments for validation
convert_audio.ipynb	Contains code for converting the WAV soundscapes to OGG
bird_vocalization_classifier.ipynb	Contains the code classifying the birdsong in the soundscapes based on Google their Bird Vocalization Classifier
three_bird_classifier.ipynb	Contains the code for training and validating a custom classifier for the birds not covered by the BVC
explore_results.ipynb	Contains the code for creating the timeline, exploring the results and running a regression to determine the firework effects

Overview of the data

The data of the analysis is concentrated in the data folder, some folders, and files are not in the folder because they are too large for keeping in a GitHub repository. The data/db/collection.duckdb file contains the DuckDB database file with the timeline data and other collected datasets used for the analysis.
