The researchers train artificial intelligence to explain animal feelings

Artificial intelligence can eventually help us understand when animals are in pain or other feelings appear – at least according to researchers Recently enjoy In science.

For example, there is an Intellipig system developed by scientists at the University of West England Bristol and the rural college in Scotland, which is looking for pictures of pigs’ faces and reaching farms if there are signs of pain, disease, or emotional distress.

And a team at Haifa University behind the face recognition program has already been used to help people find lost dogs now training artificial intelligence to determine signs of discomfort on animal faces.

These systems depend on humans to do the initial work to determine the meanings of different animal behaviors (usually based on a long note of animals in different situations), so that they can train artificial intelligence on what to search for.

However, a researcher at the University of São Paulo tried to use pictures of horse faces before and after surgery, as well as before taking pain relievers, allowing the artificial intelligence system to use deep learning to decide on signs that pain signs may indicate, with a success rate of 88 % in a recent study .
