Summary: MLSP 2013 Bird Classification Challenge
Final Result
- AUC-ROC Score: 0.9420
- Medal: GOLD (threshold: 0.9353)
Approach
Data:
- 258 training recordings, 64 test recordings
- 19 bird species (multi-label classification)
- Pre-computed histogram features (100D) and segment features (38D per segment)
- Spectrograms (1246×256 grayscale images)
Models:
1. Tabular Models (Ensemble):
- RandomForest on histogram + aggregated segment features
- ExtraTrees, LogisticRegression, LightGBM
- Combined features: 100 histogram + 152 aggregated segment = 252D
2. CNN Models:
- ResNet34 (pretrained, fine-tuned 30 epochs)
- ResNet50 (pretrained, fine-tuned 40 epochs)
- Input: Spectrograms resized to 224×224, converted to RGB
- Output: 19-way sigmoid for multi-label
Final Ensemble:
- CNN Ensemble (ResNet34 + ResNet50 average): 93.44%
- Tabular Ensemble (RF + ET + LR + LGBM): 86.02%
- Combined: 0.82 × CNN + 0.18 × Tabular = 94.20%
Key Insights
- Deep learning on spectrograms significantly outperformed tabular models
- Ensembling two different CNN architectures was crucial (boosted from 89.3% to 93.4%)
- Adding tabular predictions provided additional regularization and diversity
