With advances in machine learning, we now stand a chance to decode communication in non-human animal and plant life, which has fascinated humans for millennia. Cutting-edge technology can be used to benefit not only humankind, but other species on our planet, to better understand and protect the life around us. To make this possible, one needs to bring together and build on the latest discoveries of experts in disparate fields, including machine learning, signal processing, data science, linguistics, and acoustics. The goal of the workshop is to explore the challenges and current state-of-the-art in the study of non-human species communication as well as disciplines and technologies that are likely to provide solutions to these challenges.

Decoding Communication in Nonhuman Species
With advances in machine learning, we now stand a chance to decode communication in non-human animal and plant life, which has fascinated humans for millennia. Cutting-edge technology can be used to benefit not only humankind, but other species on our planet, to better understand and protect the life around us. To make this possible, one needs to bring together and build on the latest discoveries of experts in disparate fields, including machine learning, signal processing, data science, linguistics, and acoustics. The goal of the workshop is to explore the challenges and current state-of-the-art in the study of non-human species communication as well as disciplines and technologies that are likely to provide solutions to these challenges.

How Close Are We to Talking With Animals?
We know about apes learning sign language, but what about dolphins typing on an underwater keyboard? Or A.I. machines translating prairie dog chirps? We want to answer how close we are to conversing with the animal kingdom.

How artificial intelligence is helping scientists talk to animals - BBC News
cientists are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to decode animal languages. Scientists in Israel are closer than ever to making two-way communication with another species more likely - by using AI to understand the language of bats. “I’ve always dreamt of a Dolittle machine that will allow me to talk with animals”, said Professor Yossi Yovel of Tel Aviv University. The team at Tel Aviv University created a large database of bat noises and videos, teaching AI how to differentiate between the different sounds. The Algorithm then matched the sounds with specific social interactions captured on film. Adi Rachum from Tel Aviv University said, “in the end the computer will be able to speak the language, to understand what they say to each other”.


Animal Translators

AI 'Google Translate' for Animal Speech! - Next Big Thing in AI
AI is being used to both decode and replicate animal sounds and behaviors, aiming to enable communication between us and our furry, scaly, or feathery friends. Pioneering researchers are developing AI translators for animals like prairie dogs and dolphins, translating their unique sounds into English. On the flip side, AI is also generating animal-esque sounds and behaviors, with projects like David Hanson's "Animatronic" for Sophia the robot and Stanford's "Earth Species Project" creating realistic animal avatars that learn and evolve.

Translating canine communication with computer science
Researchers at North Carolina State University are inventing technology to decode dog talk. Hari Sreenivasan visits a computer science lab that has designed a harness to monitor physiological and emotional changes and send wireless commands through vibrations, which could be used with guide animals or search and rescue dogs.

Apps That Can "Translate Animal Sounds"
Looking apps that can do things that phones literally can't do like translating cat meows into English, Xray scans and more. No hate to these apps they all say in the description that they can't actually do these things, other than the cat one. It’s a actually a good translate app other than that though

Woof! Dog translator gets upgrade
The Bowlingual, a gadget that analyzes a dog's bark to detect its emotion, is being relaunched. The gadget can supposedly recognize and convey 6 basic emotions from a dog's bark.

Dr. Dolittle

Doctor John Dolittle is the central character of a series of children's books by Hugh Lofting starting with the 1920 The Story of Doctor Dolittle. He is a physician who shuns human patients in favour of animals, with whom he can speak in their own languages. He later becomes a naturalist, using his abilities to speak with animals to better understand nature and the history of the world. Doctor Dolittle | Wikipedia

Doctor Dolittle (1967) ORIGINAL TRAILER
The original trailer of Doctor Dolittle directed by Richard Fleischer and starring Rex Harrison, Samantha Eggar, Anthony Newley and Richard Attenborough.

Dr. Dolittle (1998)
Successful physician and devoted family man John Dolittle (Eddie Murphy) seems to have the world by the tail, until a long-suppressed talent he possessed as a child - the ability to communicate with animals - is suddenly reawakened with a vengeance! Now every creature within squawking distance wants the good doctor's advice, unleashing an outrageous chain of events that turn his world upside down!

Richard Dawkins talked about his book Science in the Soul: Selected Writings of a Passionate Rationalist, in which he makes an argument for the “scientific way of thinking”.
