Can Self-Supervised Neural Networks Pre-Trained on Human Speech distinguish Animal Callers?

Self-supervised learning (SSL) models use only the intrinsic structure of a given signal, independent of its acoustic domain, to extract essential information from the input to an embedding space. This implies that the utility of such representations is no ...

Use of an unmanned aerial-aquatic vehicle for acoustic sensing in freshwater ecosystems

Mirko Kovac, Raphael Zufferey

Freshwater ecosystems are endangered, underfunded and understudied, making new methods such as passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) essential for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of data collection. However, many challenges are still to be addressed ...

A Deep Learning Approach for Robust Head Pose Independent Eye Movements Recognition from Videos

Jean-Marc Odobez, Rémy Alain Siegfried, Yu Yu

Recognizing eye movements is important for gaze behavior understanding like in human communication analysis (human-human or robot interactions) or for diagnosis (medical, reading impairments). In this paper, we address this task using remote RGB-D sensors ...

Adult human perception of distress in the cries of bonobo, chimpanzee, and human infants

Understanding the extent to which humans perceive the emotional state of animals has both theoretical and practical implications. While recent studies indicate that natural selection has led to some convergence of emotion coding among vertebrate species (i ...

No need to shout: Effect of signal loudness on sibling communication in barn owls

Hervé Lissek, Xavier Falourd, Patrick Marmaroli, Dorian Cazau

In animal communication, signal loudness is often ignored and seldom measured. We used a playback experiment to examine the role of vocal loudness (i.e., sound pressure level) in sibling to sibling communication of nestling barn owls Tyto alba. In this spe ...

Gaze Responsive Visual Comfort: New Findings On Gaze Behaviour In A Daylit Office Space In Relation To Glare

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Mandana Sarey Khanie

Using a newly developed gaze-driven methodology for discomfort glare assessments, we studied gaze behaviour in different glare conditions. The study was done in a series of experiments where gaze behaviour of the participants were recorded using eye-tracki ...

Perception of Social Cues of Danger in Autism Spectrum Disorders

Nouchine Hadjikhani, Loyse Hippolyte, Ophélie Rogier, Torsten Ruest, Britt Russo

Intuitive grasping of the meaning of subtle social cues is particularly affected in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Despite their relevance in social communication, the effect of averted gaze in fearful faces in conveying a signal of environmental threat ...

Relatedness influences signal reliability in evolving robots

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Sara Mitri

Communication is an indispensable component of animal societies, yet many open questions remain regarding the factors affecting the evolution and reliability of signalling systems. A potentially important factor is the level of genetic relatedness between ...
