人能听懂狗的叫声？也许有一天会吧
匈牙利首都布达佩斯ELTE大学的动物行为学家们正在研发一种软件，这种软件能够根据狗叫声判断出狗的基本情绪和它遇到的状况。
Molnar教授和他的同事们测试了这款软件的准确性：凭借狗叫声，判断出14条同一品种的狗在遇到6种情况时的反应。这6种情况是： 当狗是孤独的时候，看见一个球的时候，打架的时候，玩耍的时候，碰到陌生人的时候，散步的时候。
但结果却差强人意。软件仅有43%的正确率，而同时人的判断准确率还有40%。
科学家们说要改善这款软件，直到能够达到商业用途。让人们对自己的狗、对陌生的狗的情绪了如指掌。(picture via dogbreedinfo.com)
Computer can help your dog communicate
(via Reuters)Hungarian scientists are working on computer software analyzing dog barks that could allow people to better recognize dogs’ basic emotions, Hungarian ethologist Csaba Molnar said.
Molnar and his colleagues at Budapest’s ELTE University have tested software which distinguishes the emotional reaction of 14 dogs of the Hungarian Mudi herding breed to six situations: When the dog is alone, when it sees a ball, it fights, it plays, it encounters a stranger or it goes for a walk.Read more.
