Unlocking Elephant Secrets: How Machine Learning Reveals Their Complex Communication 🐘

Researchers Use Machine Learning , to Understand How , Elephants Communicate.<br />'BGR' reports that communication <br />among elephants may be more complex <br />than scientists previously believed.<br />New evidence suggests that elephants <br />possess unique names which are <br />used to address specific elephants.<br />The study, made possible with the help <br />of machine learning, was published in <br />the journal 'Nature Ecology and Evolution.'.<br />Machine learning was used to help researchers <br />analyze hundreds of wild elephant calls, <br />searching for three specific "rumbles.".<br />These rumbles, which include a greeting, a caregiving <br />gesture and a contact calling sound, are the primary <br />form of communication used among elephants.<br />Other animals are known to refer to their peers <br />by name. Both dolphins and parrots address <br />each other by mimicking the receiver's voice.<br />Other animals are known to refer to their peers <br />by name. Both dolphins and parrots address <br />each other by mimicking the receiver's voice.<br />Elephants, on the other hand, use a more <br />abstract approach which is more closely <br />related to the way humans communicate.<br />Researchers believe the findings could <br />suggest that elephants are capable of abstract <br />thought, which would make them much <br />more intelligent than previously believed.<br />It remains unclear whether each individual <br />elephant has its own unique name, or if <br />they somehow share names or titles.<br />'BGR' reports that AI has proven very helpful in working <br />to decode nature's mysteries. Another study used AI <br />to begin unraveling the secret language of dogs. .<br />'BGR' reports that AI has proven very helpful in working <br />to decode nature's mysteries.
