The researchers have managed to correlate sounds with behavioral patterns such as courtships, unique names, and dolphin quarrels.
A history of efforts
Experts have believed that it’s possible for man to communicate with cetaceans but the taks has looked impossible due to the lack of advanced technology that can parse and mimic underwater whistles, clicks, and burst pulses of these creatures.
With the rise of large language models (LLMs), researchers recently wondered if the same principles underlying LLMs could be applied to dolphin interactions. WDP partnered with Google and the Georgia Institute of Technology to train the LLM.
This is what DolphinGemma is all about. An AI model that is built on the same technology that runs Google’s Gemini systems. DolphinGemma has around 400 million parameters to function like predictive LLMs like ChatGPT—but for dolphins.
