Acoustic intelligence
No magic, no mind-reading — measurable acoustic signal, honest about what it can and can't tell you.
A CLAP audio encoder decides whether a clip is genuinely a dog bark, recalibrated on real field recordings so it works across breeds and noisy rooms.
Pitch, bark rate, harmonics-to-noise ratio, spectral shape and more — the acoustic dimensions that decades of bioacoustics research tie to emotional state.
A supervised arousal model — trained on labelled husky and shiba recordings — reads energy/arousal, combined with breed-relative acoustic priors for the final state.
Bark detection is measured. Recalibrated on real recordings — reliably tells a bark from background noise.
Arousal is weak-but-real. Energy level (how worked-up a bark is) tracks a genuine, validated signal.
Valence is the hard part. Positive-vs-negative is closer to an informed estimate today. We show it, we don't oversell it, and your feedback improves it.
