Abstract
This study presents a valence-aware social-network framework that analyzes social interactions in dairy cattle to reveal insights into their social structure and behavior.
Reality Card
Core Claim
The study demonstrates that separating interactions by predicted valence allows for a more nuanced understanding of social networks in dairy cattle, revealing distinct layers of affiliative and agonistic behaviors.
Method / Result
Automated and manual labels agreed in 82.8% of cases, with an unweighted audit-sample macro-F1 of 0.872.
Limitations
The framework requires longitudinal validation before it can be reliably used as a welfare or health indicator.
