Audio Signals
Examples: Barks, meows, whines, growls, pitch envelopes, duration, rhythm, and spectral shape.
Training use: Forms the core acoustic embedding used to predict likely intent and emotional state.
Research | Data and System
Our training strategy combines pet audio, context, and user feedback loops so model behavior can improve over time while staying transparent about limitations.
Collected Data
Examples: Barks, meows, whines, growls, pitch envelopes, duration, rhythm, and spectral shape.
Training use: Forms the core acoustic embedding used to predict likely intent and emotional state.
Examples: Time of day, indoor/outdoor, activity mode, nearby stimuli, and optional owner notes.
Training use: Disambiguates similar sounds that mean different things in different environments.
Examples: Species, age bracket, sex, optional breed, household structure, and recurring routines.
Training use: Improves personalization and helps tune model behavior across pet cohorts.
Examples: Correct/incorrect confirmations, selected alternatives, and follow-up outcome notes.
Training use: Drives supervised fine-tuning and calibration adjustments for future versions.
Examples: Inference latency, clipping/noise warnings, and failed or retried sessions.
Training use: Improves reliability, quality filtering, and infrastructure performance.
Training Loop
01
Audio is standardized, denoised where possible, and tagged with session context metadata.
02
Human-reviewed and user-validated outcomes are quality-scored before training entry.
03
Models are fine-tuned for intent and emotional state, then confidence calibration is re-tested.
04
Updates roll out gradually with benchmark monitoring before wider user release.
Governance
PetSpeak only uses phone/computer-based data capture. No dedicated hardware is required.
Users can request deletion/export and manage profile-level settings through support channels.
Only fields needed for interpretation, personalization, and reliability are retained.
Outputs are presented as interpretation support, not diagnosis or guaranteed factual truth.
