Characterization of Efficacy and Animal Safety across Four Caprine Disbudding Methodologies
Animals, 2021 There is a strong industry demand for technically simple and highly efficacious alternatives to heat cautery disbudding in goat kids that can be performed as a stand-alone procedure without adjunct anesthesia, and that result in improved overall welfare ...

Understanding Vocalization Might Help to Assess Stressful Conditions in Piglets
Animals, 2013 Assessing pigs’ welfare is one of the most challenging subjects in intensive pig farming. Animal vocalization analysis is a noninvasive procedure and may be used as a tool for assessing animal welfare status.

A Framework for Bioacoustic Vocalization Analysis Using Hidden Markov Models
Algorithms, 2009 Using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) as a recognition framework for automatic classification of animal vocalizations has a number of benefits, including the ability to handle duration variability through nonlinear time alignment, the ability to incorporate ...

Combinatoriality in the vocal systems of nonhuman animals [PDF]
WIREs Cognitive Science, 2019 A key challenge in the field of human language evolution is the identification of the selective conditions that gave rise to language's generative nature. Comparative data on nonhuman animals provides a powerful tool to investigate similarities and differences among nonhuman and human communication systems and to reveal convergent evolutionary ...

Modeling Animal Vocalizations through Synthesizers
CoRR, 2022 Modeling real-world sound is a fundamental problem in the creative use of machine learning and many other fields, including human speech processing and bioacoustics. Transformer-based generative models and some prior work (e.g., DDSP) are known to produce realistic sound, although they have limited control and are hard to interpret.

Animation Synthesis Triggered by Vocal Mimics [PDF]
Motion, Interaction and Games, 2019 We propose a method leveraging the naturally time-related expressivity of our voice to control an animation composed of a set of short events. The user records itself mimicking onomatopoeia sounds such as "Tick", "Pop", or "Chhh" which are associated with specific animation events.
