Sperm whale 'alphabet' discovered, thanks to machine learning | TechCrunch
Briefly

What we have discovered is that there is previously undescribed variation in the coda structure. We have discovered that coda types are not arbitrary, but rather they form a newly discovered combinatory coding system.
A subset of these have been shown to encode information about caller and clan identity. However, almost everything else about the sperm whale communication system, including basic questions about its structure and information-carrying capacity, remains unknown.
He has really inspired us to want to use our most advanced technologies to want to have a deeper understanding of the whales.
We would get the inputs, and then we adjust our machine learning, to visualize better and to understand more. And then we wo
