Barking Up the Right Tree: AI Decodes Dog Talk

It highlights AI’s potential to revolutionise how  we understand and respond to dogs’ needs

Have you ever wished you could understand your dog’s barks? Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed an AI tool that deciphers whether a bark conveys playfulness or aggression. This AI, which also identifies a dog’s age, sex, and breed, uses models initially trained on human speech. Collaborating with Mexico’s INAOE Institute, the study leverages advanced speech-processing models to interpret dog vocalisations. It highlights AI’s potential to revolutionise how  we understand and respond to dogs’ needs.

Night vision eye-wear may be around the corner

Researchers at TMOS, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems, have created an ultra-thin infrared filter that could revolutionise night vision gear. This breakthrough, thinner than cling wrap and weighing less than a gram, could eventually be integrated into everyday eye-wear, enabling users to see both the infrared and visible light spectrum simultaneously.
