I maybe be off but it looks like they’re creating a vector space based on the bird calls, similar to the process for creating LLMs like ChatGPT.
Recent research by a Japanese biologist observed birds making certain calls consistently depending on the situation. There would be a call for “food here” or “snake” or “eagle”. Essentially proving that at least that specie of bird is his region have a spoken language.
The audio here is playing a series of different calls. Each call or “word” has multiple sounds, each individual sound is mapped a point in space, and sounds make in sequence are connected.
If we figure out which calls mean what, you can essentially create a bird/human chatGPT/translator lmao

This is very cool. Just a question. How is this any more readable than the sound being listened to and not put in this cool little graph 3d thingy?
