AVES: Animal Vocalization Encoder Based on Self-Supervision [PDF]
ICASSP 2023 - 2023 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2022 The lack of annotated training data in bioacoustics hinders the use of large-scale neural network models trained in a supervised way. In order to leverage a large amount of unannotated audio data, we propose AVES (Animal Vocalization Encoder based on ...

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.

Influence of age, time of day, and environmental changes on vocalization patterns in broiler chickens [PDF]
Poultry ScienceSound analysis of animal vocalizations may provide valuable insights into their emotional state and behavioral responses to environmental stimuli. In broiler chickens, four primary vocalization types—distress calls (DC), short peeps (SP), warbles (W ...

Revista de Investigación e Innovación en Ciencias de la Salud, 2021 In its broadest definition, Vocology is the study of vocalization, much like audiology is the study of hearing. Vocology includes the exploration of the full capability of human and animal sound production, some of which is embedded in human speech.

Characterization and assessment of vocalization responses of cows to different physiological states
Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2021 The objective of our study was to characterize and assess the vocalization responses of cows in four different physiological states using different measurements and relate those to salivary cortisol concentrations as a possible indicator of stress.

Acoustic sensors for detecting cow behaviour
Smart Agricultural Technology, 2023 Acoustic technologies provide a non-invasive method to generate information about the health, welfare, and environmental impact of livestock. This study demonstrated that rear leg attached acoustic sensors can be used to differentiate between seven ...
