Bat Language Better Understood

Scientists have recorded the sounds that 22 bats made and recorded also some video. They then used machine learning techniques to understand who made some sound, who the recepient may be, and whether the sound resulted in some action. Although they do not claim that they can translate some utterances, the computer can reasonably well identify who is shouting and what it may be about.
