# ConvNext (trained on XCL from BirdSet)

ConvNext trained on the XCL dataset from BirdSet, covering 9736 bird species from Xeno-Canto.

### Model Details
ConvNeXT is a pure convolutional model (ConvNet), inspired by the design of Vision Transformers, that claims to outperform them.

## How to use
The BirdSet data needs a custom processor that is available in the BirdSet repository. The model does not have a processor available. 
The model accepts a mono image (spectrogram) as input (e.g., `torch.Size([16, 1, 128, 1024])`)

- The model is trained on 5-second clips of bird vocalizations.
