Dolphin Communication

Decoding and Deciphering Dolphin Sounds

For years we have known that dolphins have complex sounds and behavior. WDP has a vast database of underwater sounds and behaviors, which have been collected over the past 33 years for this free-ranging community of dolphins. Two initiatives are currently underway with a team at Georgia Institute of Technology. The first is to apply a variety of Machine Learning algorithms to discover patterns in the dolphins sounds. The second is to utilize and underwater computer interface to explore two-way communication between the dolphins and researchers.
