If i'm not mistaking the linked dataset is more useful to run it offline: https://github.com/kahst/BirdNET-Lite Since it contains a tensorflow model and tensorflow can be used with ml.net. It would analyze recordings every 3 seconds. Since that is what the model expects. No?

The original version [1] is Theano based, but the newest one is TF-Lite based [2], probably for supporting mobile. Unfortunately they don't publish the code of TF version and only a TF-Lite model is available. Probably that doesn't matter for the exports though since the paper and original version are both there. More interesting thing is that they've been making the dataset available [3] for $20 (even before BirdNet). This can be great source for training your own bird-net like. - [1] https://github.com/kahst/BirdNET - [2] https://github.com/kahst/BirdNET-Lite - [3] https://www.macaulaylibrary.org/product/the-cornell-guide-to...
