Unveiling Nonlinear Ecological Dynamics in Marine Soundscapes with Explainable AI

A curated sample dataset sufficient to reproduce the workflow is provided as Sample_data.csv (2018 monitored) The complete, all-in-one analysis notebook is provided as XAI_SC.ipynb (Optuna tuning → XGBoost training → SHAP interpretation → figure/table export). A short user guide with environment details, expected columns, and run instructions is included as Readme_XAI_Soundscape.rtf. These files are supplied as supplementary materials with the manuscript. The full 2014–2018 raw PAM archive can be shared upon reasonable request to the author and subject to institutional/data-provider permissions. All code needed to regenerate the results from the sample dataset is contained in the notebook.
