The researchers form AI to interpret animal emotions

Artificial intelligence could possibly help us understand when animals suffer or show other emotions – at least according to researchers recently profiled in science.

For example, the IntelliPig system is developed by scientists from the University of West England Bristol and the Rural College of Scotland, which examines the photos of the faces of the pigs and warns the farmer if there is signs of pain, illness or emotional distress.

And a team from the University of Haifa behind facial recognition software that has already been used to help people find lost dogs now form AI to identify signs of discomfort on animal faces.

These systems are based on human beings to do the initial work of identifying the meanings of different animal behavior (generally based on a long observation of animals in various situations), so that they can cause AI on what is necessary to research.

However, a researcher from the University of São Paulo experienced the use of photos of the horses’ faces before and after surgery, as well as before and after taking pain relievers, allowing an AI system to use a Deep learning to decide on your own pain signs, with a success rate of 88% in a recent study.
