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.
