Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are using machine learning to research sperm whale communication habits -- and they're learning unprecedented things. Their new study, ...

SANTA CRUZ, CA–When Jason Gedamke and Daniel Costa first went to Australia to record the sounds of dwarf minke whales, people told them they were wasting their time. There were very few reports of ...

Animals may not have musical instruments, but the way that some species form complex patterns of vocal sequences is remarkable. A recent study has found that Antarctic leopard seal mating call ...

Project CETI is harnessing AI to understand the complex communication system of sperm whales. In a new study, the project's scientists used AI to decode thousands of sperm whale clicks. CETI founder ...

Fred Sharpe has studied humpback whales in Alaska for more than three decades. He’s particularly interested in the sounds they make – and what they mean. Lately, the biologist has been focusing on the ...

What can we learn from the whales? It’s something that researchers at the CETI project (not to be confused with the SETI Institute) are working on in order to help drive awareness around language ...

A mysterious sound emitted from the depths of the Pacific Ocean has finally been identified as a Bryde’s whale. Now, artificial intelligence is helping researchers track the elusive whale species ...

For decades scientists have been intrigued by the variety of sounds emitted by sperm whales, partly due to a popular theory that suggests that the sounds might contain information about the animals' ...
