How to make a classifier with only country specific species?

[llcea]

Hello, we want to make a classifier that contains the 486 species that are present in the BirdNET model that are observed in the Philippines. I am curious if it is possible to make a classifier that uses the BirdNET model, but with species that are observed in a specific country (e.g. Philippines) aside from just using the species selection by location?

You can create a custom species list: https://birdnet-team.github.io/BirdNET-Analyzer/best-practices/species-lists.html

Thank you for the response, I do have another question, would that be possible for an appended custom classifier?

[Mattk70]

No, you cannot use a species list for custom classifiers, see #806.

If that's a key requirement for you, it is possible to train an appended model custom classifier using BirdNET in Chirpity and apply a custom species list to that. It's a premium feature, but you can try it out for free.

We're currently adding custom species list support for custom classifier use in the GUI and will release this addition soon.

Actually, since version 2.4.0, you can use acustom species list with custom classifier, see the release notes here
