Project CETI
Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative) is an ambitious interdisciplinary endeavor aiming to decode the communication of sperm whales. By leveraging advanced machine learning, data analysis, and linguistic theory, we seek to interpret the complex vocalizations of these intelligent marine mammals. Understanding their communication patterns offers insights into their social structures and into language and cognition across species.
- Foraging strategies from acoustic recordings and 3D dive trajectories (bioRxiv 2026)
- Collaborative sperm whale birth and shifts in coda vocal styles (Scientific Reports 2026)

Computational Gastronomy
Network approaches to uncover the principles behind how ingredients are combined in cuisines around the world.
- Networks of ingredient combinations as culinary fingerprints of world cuisines (npj Science of Food)
- Maximum spanning trees as simplified backbones of cuisines
- Machine learning to identify cuisines from recipes, and clustering of cuisines into geo-cultural groups
- Chef Network Platform
