AI帮助识别独特的狮子咆哮, 协助养护努力。 AI helps identify unique lion roars, aiding conservation efforts.

埃克塞特大学的研究人员利用人工智能来辨别一种以前未被承认的狮子咆哮类型——象指纹一样,是个体狮子独有的全发咆哮。 Researchers at the University of Exeter used artificial intelligence to identify a previously unrecognized lion roar type—the full-throated roar—unique to individual lions, similar to a fingerprint. 这种复杂而响亮的声响, 包括呻吟和咕噜声在内的序列的一部分, 具有独特的声势模式, AI比人类专家更精确地检测到。 This complex, loud vocalization, part of a sequence including moans and grunts, features distinct pitch patterns that AI detected more accurately than human experts. 该技术能够从录音中准确识别个人身份,改善人口监测和保护规划。 The technology enables precise individual identification from audio recordings, improving population monitoring and conservation planning. 这项研究在《生态和演变》中发表,强调大赦国际在发现隐藏的动物通信模式方面的作用,为保护濒危狮子和其他物种提供了一个强大、非侵入性的工具。 The study, published in Ecology and Evolution, highlights AI's role in uncovering hidden animal communication patterns, offering a powerful, non-invasive tool for protecting endangered lions and other species.
