Computers to Recognize Dog Emotions Through Bark Analysis

Hungarian scientists have developed software that can correctly recognize a dog's emotions based on analysis of their barks and yelps 43% of the time. According to the scientists, humans can do the same 40% of the time.

[Hungarian ethologist Csaba] 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.

Mulnar believes that the software can be further tweaked for a higher success rate.
