Abstract
This review critically analyzes recent advancements in dairy cow behavior recognition, highlighting novel methodological contributions through the integration of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques such as transformer models and multi-view tracking with social network analysis (SNA). Such integration offers transformative opportunities for improving dairy cattle welfare, but current applications remain limited. We describe the transition from manual, observer-based assessments to automated, scalable methods using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), spatio-temporal models, and at
