Pig calls: inspect what the labels actually mean

The paper analyzes calls across production contexts. The open Soundwel subset contains 6,888 calls in 17 categories.

What we reviewed · Selected evidence reviewed

Primary indexed abstract/results excerpts and repository description/API; full methods not reviewed.

Not yet independently reviewed by a scientific specialist.

What this does — and doesn’t — establish

The deposit excludes restricted slaughterhouse recordings. Context-associated valence is not a translated sentence or validated household emotion detector.

What we can build on

Our proposed use is a separate farm-research comparison, with its own setting and evaluation.
