Welcome to the Cornell Birdcall Identification challenge! Success here could meaningfully improve the productivity of scientists who monitor bird populations. The asymmetries between available training data and the conservation science relevant test data have proven difficult for previous modeling attempts. We're excited to see what you can come up with!
\n\nGood luck and happy Kaggling!

I think pydub is a very common package when we treat mp3 format audio data.\nBecause we are not allowed to have an internet access in inference kernel, pre-installed kernel environment is a big help for us.
