AI Interprets What Rodents are Saying

Artificial intelligence (AI) has improved greatly in recent years largely due to advances in deep learning, a method of machine-based learning. Deep learning's superior pattern-recognition has spawned a number of advancements in computer vision, translation, speech recognition, and other purposes. Deep learning algorithms are being applied in many industries for a variety of purposes. Last month, researchers in the Psychiatry and Behavioral Science department at the University of Washington School of Medicine announced the creation of "DeepSqueak," a deep learning system that can detect and analyze the vocalizations of rodents. Modern science, depends on laboratory rodents to serve as mammalian proxies to human test subjects.
