Timely processing of these data is critical for adapting mitigation measures as climate change continues to impact Arctic marine mammals. Infrastructure for Noise and Soundscape Tolerant Investigation of Nonspecific Call Types (INSTINCT) is command line software which was developed in-house for model training, evaluation, and deployment of machine learning models for the purpose of marine mammal detection in passive acoustic data. It also includes annotation workflows for labeling and validation. INSTINCT has been successfully deployed in several analyses, and further development of detectors within INSTINCT is desired for future novel studies and automation. Continued integration of AI methods into existing processes of the CAEP acoustics group requires a skilled operator familiar with INSTINCT, machine learning, and acoustic repertoire of Alaska region marine mammals.
