Cool Tech: Wav2Vec2

We have two dogs, and they are my world. I would give years of my life to be able to talk to them and tell them what they mean to me. We aren’t there yet, but we’re getting closer with AI!

Researchers at the University of Michigan have achieved a breakthrough by using artificial intelligence to decode dog barks. This innovative study, led by Rada Mihalcea, head of the U-M AI Lab, opens new possibilities in understanding canine communication.

The AI model, Wav2Vec2, was trained on dog barks and human speech datasets. Surprisingly, it showed that patterns in human language help interpret dog vocalizations. With 70% accuracy, the AI can differentiate between playful and angry barks and identify a dog’s breed (62%) and gender (69%).

Doctoral student Artem Abzaliev and his team collected barks, growls, and whimpers from 74 dogs of various breeds, ages, and sexes in different contexts. This diverse data helped fine-tune the AI model, marking a significant step in using human speech techniques to decode animal sounds.
