Software to translate dog barks
sure we have all wanted some Once our dog we speak to understand without a doubt what we try to communicate by barking. Although this is quite complicated it becomes possible, if they may someday have a dog-human translator.
At the University of Budapest, in Hungary, a group of computer scientists has developed software that is still somewhat rudimentary form is able to understand the meaning of the barking dogs of the Hungarian Mudi breed also able to identify a particular dog by its bark. It's designed to identify six possible reactions of the dog has been a ball, is fighting, playing, facing a stranger, like hiking and being alone.
The percentage of positive identifications of the software on a sample of 6000 individual barking is 43%, just over 40% identifying a human. When identifying individual dogs from barking, the percentage of correct answers was 52%. Keep in mind that human we can not make this identification based on bark, except when it comes to our dogs (both I and my partner know which of our four dogs barking, and I think anyone with more than one dog are also capable).
can be observed that the project is still at a very early stage but very promising. You can find more information on the link at the bottom left of the post. Related
