When scientists here set out to apply artificial intelligence to the study of animal behavior, they weren't monkeying around.
Researchers from Kyoto University and Oxford University have developed a face recognition model using AI technology that can identify and track chimpanzees in video footage with a high degree of accuracy.
The deep learning technique, they believe, will provide a fully automated approach to analyzing vast amounts of archival data on animals and allow for more thorough analyses by ethologists.
