  1. 1. Decoding communication of non-human species - Unsupervised machine learning to infer syntactical and temporal patterns in fruit-bats vocalizations.

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

    Author : Luigi Assom; [2023]
    Keywords : animal decision making; unsupervised machine learning; UMAP; autoencoders; classifiers; bioacoustics; combinatory syntax; animal communication;

    Abstract : Decoding non-human species communication offers a unique chance to explore alternative intelligence forms using machine learning. This master thesis focuses on discreteness and grammar, two of five linguistic areas machine learning can support, and tackles inferring syntax and temporal structures from bioacoustics data annotated with animal behavior.

  3. 2. An Analysis of Data Compression Algorithms in the Context of Ultrasonic Bat Bioacoustics

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för datavetenskap och medieteknik (DM)

    Author : Max Anderson; Benjamin Anderson; [2022]
    Keywords : bioacoustics; data compression; bats; audio data; ultrasonic;

    Abstract : Audio data compression seeks to reduce the size of sound files, making them easier to store and transfer, and is thus a highly valued tool for those working with large sets of audio data. For example, some biologists work with audio recordings of bats, which are well known for their frequent use of ultrasonic echolocation, and so these biologists can accrue massive amounts of high frequency audio data.

  4. 3. Plant-plant communication - possible mechanisms and benefits

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Maria Hedsén; [2019]
    Keywords : plant-plant communication; plant interactions by VOC; plant interactions by sound; photomorphogenesis; thigomorphogenesis; bioacoustics;

    Abstract : Plants interact with their environment in many ways. They can emit and receive volatile organic compounds (VOC) and sound. They can reflect specific wavelengths of light and detect these light signals, reflected by other plants. They can also feel when they are touched and distinguish different types of touch. READ MORE
