Project CETI is an international initiative to understand the acoustic communication of sperm whales using advances in artificial intelligence.[1][2] The project has an interdisciplinary scientific board including marine biologists, artificial intelligence researchers, roboticists, theoretical computer scientists, and linguists. Its name, Cetacean Translation Initiative,[3] is a reference to the SETI Institute.[4] The project has a base on the island of Dominica where recordings are being collected.[5]
The organization has been selected as a TED Audacious Project.[6] CETI researchers have identified 156 distinct codas and their basic components, a "sperm whale phonetic alphabet" much like phonemes.[7]
