### AI overview

Google Research describes how Perch 2.0, a bioacoustics foundation model trained primarily on birds and other terrestrial animals, transfers effectively to underwater audio tasks. The article highlights whale-vocalization classification, marine-ecosystem research, and a Google Colab tutorial using NOAA acoustic data through Google Cloud.

### AI overview

Google Research introduces the Massive Sound Embedding Benchmark (MSEB), an open-source benchmark for evaluating machine sound intelligence across eight capabilities, including transcription, classification, retrieval, reasoning, segmentation, clustering, reranking, and reconstruction. It also includes the Simple Voice Questions dataset, with 177,352 spoken queries across 26 locales and 17 languages, available on Hugging Face.
