AquaSignal: Robust underwater acoustic analysis

16 Apr 2026
Theatre 2
  • Integrated Approach to Underwater Signal Processing

Attendees will understand how AquaSignal combines pre-processing, denoising, classification, and novelty detection into a cohesive machine learning pipeline tailored specifically for underwater acoustic environments.

  • State-of-the-Art Novelty Detection Performance

The session will demonstrate how AquaSignal achieves high accuracy in identifying unknown or anomalous underwater acoustic events, using real-world benchmark datasets like Deepship and ONC.

  • Robustness to Domain-Specific Challenges

Participants will learn how the pipeline addresses key challenges in underwater acoustics—such as noise, signal degradation, and sparse labels—through advanced ML techniques and adaptive modeling.
