CETI is a nonprofit organization applying advanced machine learning and state-of-the-art robotics to listen to and translate the communication of sperm whales. Our research focus is in Dominica in the Eastern Caribbean.
We’re listening to and translating how other species communicate - starting with the sperm whale. Our mission is simple.
Achieve advancements and breakthroughs in interspecies communication
Transform human understanding & connectivity
Share our learnings with the world
The codas of clicks vary by different groups showing possible culture
With a brain six times the size of humans, untapped potential could be vast
For the first time in history, advances in technology have made it possible to understand the communication of animals.Imagine what would happen if we could understand what other animals are saying? What would they say? What could we learn?
CETI is a listening project that uses advanced machine Learning and robotics to understand what sperm whales are saying.
The first phase is to construct a one-of-a-kind large-scale acoustic and behavioral data set to train CETI’s technology to observe whale communication in context and to translate whale-speak.
Record the movements and sounds of sperm whales.
Our gentle, aerial drones are state-of-the-art.
The raw data is processed and prepared for the next step.
Our gentle, aerial drones are state-of-the-art.
Computers help people learn and understand whale communication.
Our gentle, aerial drones are state-of-the-art.
Scientists eventually validate our understanding via carefully designed playback studies.
Our gentle, aerial drones are state-of-the-art.
CETI is taking on this challenge with a 360 approach made possible by an extensive cross-disciplinary team, an initial focus on sperm whales and the design and implementation of cutting-edge technology.
We’ll keep you up-to-date on the latest breakthroughs and progress.
