I'm waiting for all of the advances in Neural Networks and Machine Learning to get us to the points where we can start communicating (or at least understanding) whales and dolphins.
This also reminds me of the quote: "Talk to aliens? We can't even talk to whales!"
- devonallie 4y agoWe can barely talk to each other :)
- jerrre 4y agoWhat would be the baseline data? Don't we need some ground truth examples?
- JacobThreeThree 4y agoOur children are not learning enough about whales: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POi4rvN_Yts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POi4rvN_Yts
- robga 4y agoProjects underway include https://www.projectceti.org/ https://www.projectceti.org/ and https://www.earthspecies.org/ https://www.earthspecies.org/
- underlines 4y agoI don't understand their approach. It sounds too buzzwordy: "Build on substantial data on the whales’ sounds, social lives, and behavior already obtained by the Dominica Sperm Whale Project. Create a bespoke, big data pipeline to examine the recorded data and decode it using advanced machine learning, natural language processing and data science." Zero shot classification without any examples? OK. Having "Behaviour" information to link to sounds? OK. But using "data science" and especially using NLP to decode whale sound? Sorry you have to be more specific, otherwise this sounds just like any other buzzword bingo.
