  1. UC #Berkeley #scientists hail breakthrough in decoding #whale #communication
    According to a new study from Begus and his colleagues with Project #CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), the whales make sounds that resemble vowels, a key part of human language.
    Although scientists already knew that #spermwhales communicate with codas — sequences of clicks analogous to #MorseCode — the study indicates a more complex communication system.

  2. What if I told you that we had connected with an #alien #intelligence, and are hard at work using #AI to decode their language?

    You'd be pretty excited, right? Finally proof that we are not alone in the universe!

    Well, we *have*. It's just that these alien intelligences are floating through the inky black of the ocean depths, instead of the void of interstellar space.

    Whales are clearly intelligent. They have more than a song -- they have a language. The more we study it, the more we see shares many features with human languages. Project #CETI is working on understanding it. In our lifetime, they may crack the code.

    Totally mind-blowing.

  4. Project CETI is decoding whale communication. Find out how these efforts might help the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. We hear the story of chattering cetaceans and “Animal Alphabets” on Big Picture Science.

  5. Scientists may have discovered an alphabet in whale calls. Does it follow that whales have language? We are only aware of one species that has evolved with an impressive gift of gab, but is speech a unique human superpower? It’s “Animal Alphabets” on Big Picture Science.

    “Because of current limitations on technology, an important assumption of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence is that extraterrestrial intelligence and life will be interested in making contact and so target human receivers,” Laurance Doyle, SETI Institute scientist, said in an institute statement. “This important assumption is certainly supported by the independent evolution of curious behavior in humpback whales.”

  8. From #CETI to #METI

    …❛❛ In 1971, dozens of #astronomers & #astrophysicists convened in a conference room at the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory in #Armenia for the 1st joint #American & #Soviet conference on communicating with #ExtraterrestrialIntelligence. American & Soviet scientists had met independently to discuss the topic in the early 1960s ❜❜…

  9. Researchers from MIT’s CSAIL and Project #CETI are using machine learning to decode the “sperm #whale phonetic alphabet,” revealing complex communication patterns. Their analysis of thousands of Caribbean sperm whale codas shows a sophisticated communication system, challenging the idea that complex #communication is unique to humans. This groundbreaking work enhances our understanding of marine biology, supports conservation efforts, and even parallels studies of #alien communication. #ai #amazingnature #nature

  10. In what’s being called a breakthrough, scientists have had an extended conversation with a humpback whale. Could this encounter teach us how to talk with ET? It’s “Alien Says What?” on Big Picture Science.

    «Writers have modeled the arrival of an extraterrestrial probe in our Solar System in a number of interesting science fiction texts, from Clarke’s Rendezvous with Rama (1973) to the enigmatic visitors of Ted Chiang’s “Story of Your Life,” which Hollywood translated into the film Arrival (2016)».

  13. “Can we talk to whales?”

    Some researchers believe we could at least talk at them, using #ML / #LLM. #CETI is trying to collect enough sperm whale data to build a language model.

    This article is a deep dive on research with sperm whales and contains both disturbing history and a very heartwarming scene. Fascinating read.

    Annie Lewandowski & Kyle McDonald's notations of whalesong are super suggestive - translating spectograms to colourful 2D "gestures" (1:11:11).

    Longing for less AI hype, and more public discussion on working with machine intelligence to relate more attentively to living creatures.

  17. Hallo #Fediverse,
    wir vom Centre for Tactile Internet, kurz CeTI, haben nun auch den Weg zu #Mastodon gefunden. 🐘 Wir möchten mithilfe dieses Kanals von unserer Forschung und Aktivitäten darüber hinaus berichten. 🦾
    Wir möchten uns noch mal ausdrücklich beim @team zur Aufnahme in die @wisskomm.social Instanz bedanken.
