Title: Counting Without Numbers \& Finding Without Words
Abstract:
arXiv:2603.24470v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Every year, 10 million pets enter shelters, separated from their families. Despite desperate searches by both guardians and lost animals, 70% never reunite, not because matches do not exist, but because current systems look only at appearance, while animals recognize each other through sound. We ask, why does computer vision treat vocalizing species as silent visual objects? Drawing on five decades of cognitive science showing that animals percei
