Can Humans Ever Understand What Sperm Whales say? This Research Has Roadmap Towards It
Scientists have outlined key elements needed for the processing of massive bio-acoustic data of sperm whales. Researchers say that the past decade witnessed a ground-breaking rise of machine learning for human language analysis, and recent research has shown the promise that such tools may also be used for analysing acoustic communication in nonhum...
