Benchmarking nearest neighbor retrieval of zebra finch vocalizations across development

This study benchmarks nearest neighbor retrieval for zebra finch vocalizations, finding high performance in adults but lower in juveniles, with improved results using fixed-size templates and Spearman distance.

Learning the sound inventory of a complex vocal skill via an intrinsic reward

This study shows that a multi-actor reinforcement learning model accurately reproduces the learning of multiple syllables in zebra finches by using competitive intrinsic rewards.
