What's your pet saying? AI could help translate into words
Share this @internewscast.com

A pioneering technology firm is leveraging AI to interpret the subtle languages of your cherished pets, decoding their ‘purrs’ and ‘barks’.

Baidu, the powerhouse behind China’s top search engine, has taken a trailblazing step by filing an innovative patent aimed at converting animal noises into comprehensible language through a combination of data analysis and sophisticated AI, as reported by Sky News.

‘Our patent application has garnered significant attention,’ remarked a Baidu representative to CGTN News. ‘At present, this project remains in the investigative phase.’

Outlined in the document, the system aims to gather a wide range of animal data -vocal sounds, behavioral patterns and physiological signals – which will be integrated and analyzed by an AI-drive engine to identify the animal’s emotional state.

From there, the system would then match the animal’s emotions to meanings and turn them into human language, enabling a clearer understanding of what the pet is trying to express.

In the document, the company said the system would allow ‘deeper emotional communication and understanding between animals and humans, improving the accuracy and efficiency of cross-species communication’.

Baidu was one of the first companies in China to make major investments in AI after OpenAI launched ChatGPT back in 2022.

Beyond China, several countries around the world have been actively working on translating animal vocalizations, a topic that has fascinated people for years.

However, it’s only through recent advancements in technology that animal owners can now begin to get excited about potentially beginning to understand what their pets are trying to convey.

On social media, videos showing dogs using buttons on hexagonal mats – known as Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) boards – to communicate with their owners often go viral.

Whether these dogs are truly communicating remains a topic of debate, with scientists at UC San Diego conducting a study on 2,000 dogs to help settle the question.

Last month, scientists revealed that AI may soon enable humans to communicate with dolphins.

A new model created by Google may reveal the secrets behind how the animals communicate for the very first time, with hopes that we may be able to ‘speak dolphin’ in the future.

Google DeepMind’s DolphinGemma has been programmed with the world’s largest collection of dolphin sounds, including clicks, whistles and vocalizations that have been recorded over several years by the Wild Dolphin Project. 

Dr. Denize Herzing, founder and research director of the Wild Dolphin Project told The Telegraph: ‘We do not know if animals have words’.

‘Dolphins can recognize themselves in the mirror, they use tools, they’re smart but language is still the last barrier so feeding dolphin sounds into an AI model will give us a really good look if there are patterns, subtleties that humans can’t pick out,’ she said.

‘The goal would someday be to “speak dolphin”.’ 

The model will search through sounds that have been linked to behavior to try to find sequences that could indicate a language. 

Dr. Thas Starner, a Google Deep-Mind scientist, said: ‘The model can help researchers uncover hidden structures and potential meanings within the dolphins’ natural communication, a task previously requiring immense human effort.’

‘We’re just beginning to understand the patterns within the sounds.’
