inference = DeepSeaInference(model)

# Run inference on new data
result = inference.predict(
    video_path="data/sample_video.mp4",
    audio_path="data/sample_audio.wav",
    sensors={"turbidity": 0.5, "oxygen": 8.2, "temperature": 4.1}
)

print(f"Detected species: {result['species']}")
print(f"Confidence: {result['confidence']}")
