Animal Language Translator

When you tap on one of the animals, you will see a microphone and a play icon. You can record what you want to say to your pet by tapping the microphone button. The sound of the animal you tapped on will be played when you tap the play button. The app always plays the same sound, so no matter what message you record, it won't make any difference.

In fact, if you use these sounds with animals, you may obtain an effect opposite to the desired one. For example, the dog barking that sounds in the app is very aggressive, so you may infuriate your pet instead of communicating an affectionate message. Communication with other animals is much more complex, as with snakes, which do not have an external hearing.

Typically, artificial intelligence systems learn through training with labeled data (which can be supplied by the internet, or resources like e-books). For human language models, this usually involves giving computers a sentence, blocking out certain words, and asking the program to fill in the blanks. There are also more creative strategies now that want to match up speech to brain activity.

Another factor that researchers are taking into account is the fact that animal communications might not work at all like human communications, and the tendency to anthropomorphize them could be skewing the results. There might be unique elements to animal language due to physiological and behavioral differences.

AI has helped in decoding ancient languages of the past. As a result, there are experiments with the same AI technology to see if it can interpret the vocalizations of animals and their facial expressions into a language that humans can understand.

We are motivated by the exponential progress we are experiencing in machine learning and human language: starting with the invention of techniques that can translate human languages without dictionaries. These new techniques can now be extended to the non-human domain.

Playbacks are a common technique used to study animal vocalizations, involving the experimental presentation of stimuli to animals (usually recorded calls played back to them) to build an understanding of their physiological and cognitive abilities. With current playback tools, biologists are limited in their ability to manipulate the vocalizations in ways that will establish or change their meaning, and their exploratory power is limited. Senior AI research scientist Jen-Yu Liu is exploring whether it is possible to train AI models to generate new vocalizations in a way that allows us to solve for a particular research question or task.

This app eliminates the language and communication barrier between animals and humans. Our design process was to create something similar to Google translate so it can be easy for users to get around.

Our projects works by using the sound waves and tone to determine stress or angst and other emotions in our selected animals voice. Our program uses this to determine what physical words the animal is trying to say by translating it through to the selected language.

The wealth of information that lies masked in animal communication can also be instrumental in understanding social dynamics within species. When machine learning was used to analyze around 36,000 chirps of naked mole rats, researchers found that each mole rat had its own unique vocal signature and each colony had its own dialect, which is passed down over generations. In cases when a colony queen was deposed, these dialects were erased. With a new queen, a new dialect would emerge.

While we are still a while away from a Google Translate equivalent for animal languages that can decode the nuances of intra-species communication, technology, especially machine learning, is keeping this hope alive. The ability to understand animal languages could open up a realm of possibilities, potentially shaping conservation efforts, determining our future relationship with other species, and even offering insights into the evolution of human language itself.

Have You ever wondered if the birds outside your window in the morning are judging you for sleeping past sunrise? Or if your pets are trying to tell you something important? Well, it turns out that animals are always talking, but the real question is, are they saying anything? The idea of being able to communicate with animals has fascinated us throughout human history. From stories of adventurers in ancient Greece discovering talking monsters to modern movie franchises, animals have always been a vital resource and a constant thread. The exciting thing is that we might be able to achieve this goal sometime soon. Artificial intelligence is paving the way towards this goal, and within a year, we may hear the first translations of animal languages. But how are we achieving this?

Overcoming the monumental divide between human and animal language has always fascinated us. Nowadays, we just want to talk to our pets like we do the rest of our family. The idea of being able to communicate with them was seen as a gift from the gods. The advent of more complex artificial intelligence and better methods for acquiring large swaths of data have built a bridge to connect us to the animal world.

The most common way that we translate between languages is to use two separate AIs. One that takes an input, let's say English, and encodes it into a mathematical representation of a sentence called an embedding. The Second AI takes that representation and decodes it into another language, say German. But this requires a shared index to translate "I am going hiking" into "Ich gehe wandern." We need to already know how to translate from English to German. We need an equivalent of a Rosetta Stone for the two languages or a human that can speak both languages to confirm if this translation is correct. Well, at least that used to be true.

Scientists have found a new way to translate languages that does not require any understanding of either language. Instead, we just need to make maps of the languages and compare them to make a map. They measure the statistical distance between words and how often those words are used in conjunction with each other. Each dot on the map is a word, and the distance in this multidimensional space between the dots encodes the information of the average distance between the words. For a simple example, "The Blue house is nice," the mapping would detect all of the adjacent words and give them a distance of one, like "blue house," and then a distance of two for words that have something in between, like "that house." A real map is a little bit more complex than this, but this gives the general gist of how it works. The map basically measures what words are commonly used together and how the grammar works, but it doesn't require any understanding.

But how does this help with translations? Well, it turns out that this map is basically the same for all languages. If you take the map of English and overlay it with any other language, it is extremely close to each other. So, to translate, you just have to highlight the words in the English map and then pick the adjacent words in the German map. The amazing thing is that this works, and it even works for languages that don't share a similar structure, like English and Chinese.

But can it work for animals? Animals clearly communicate, but language is special because it has grammar. There is a structure to the words that helps to improve our understanding. It is not obvious that other animal species will have grammar in their communication, and if they do, will it look anything like any of the grammar that we've invented? However, there is evidence that some animal species do have a form of language that goes beyond a series of words or, should I say, grunts, barks, squeaks, squarks, meows, and, for a lyrebird, any sound that it wants.

But there is one species that stands above the rest as the most likely to have a complex form of language: sperm whales. These majestic deep-sea creatures are truly bizarre. They have an eerie sleeping technique of floating vertically in the sea, which I can only imagine is the sea life equivalent of vampires sleeping with their arms folded. They also live in well-connected social groups, which is also similar to vampires. But unlike vampires, they communicate with other sperm whales through a series of clicks. These clicks are the loudest sound made by any animal on the planet, reaching up to 230 dB, which is mind-bogglingly loud. Considering that dBs are logarithmic, meaning that an increase in 10 dB is a doubling of the apparent loudness, for reference, prolonged exposure to 85 dB can cause damage to our ears, and 140 dB, we will start to feel pain. Luckily, there are not too many things that are this loud. A jet taking off is around 130 dB, gunfire is around 140 dB and goes up to around 190 dB, and even some of the loudest, most violent volcanic eruptions have been calculated to be around 200 dB. Sperm whales get up to 230 dB, which is six times louder than a rocket or a volcano. This is so loud that they would rupture our eardrums and potentially so loud that if we were standing next to them, we could die from the intensity of the click. They need this volume to be able to communicate with their whale Pod over hundreds to thousands of kilometers away. 17dc91bb1f
