Most existing cry detection models have been tested with data collected in controlled settings. Thus, the extent to which they generalize to noisy and lived environments is unclear. In this paper, we evaluate several established machine…
Infant cry detection is a crucial component of baby care system. In this paper, we propose a lightweight and robust method for infant cry detection. The method leverages blueprint separable convolutions to reduce computational complexity,…
Understanding the meaning of infant cries is a significant challenge for young parents in caring for their newborns. The presence of background noise and the lack of labeled data present practical challenges in developing systems that can…
This paper addresses a major challenge in acoustic event detection, in particular infant cry detection in the presence of other sounds and background noises: the lack of precise annotated data. We present two contributions for supervised…
The effectiveness of pain management relies on the choice and the correct use of suitable pain assessment tools. In the case of newborns, some of the most common tools are human-based and observational, thus affected by subjectivity and…
Infant cry emotion recognition is crucial for parenting and medical applications. It faces many challenges, such as subtle emotional variations, noise interference, and limited data. The existing methods lack the ability to effectively…
The monitoring of fetal heart rate (FHR) and the assessment of its variability are crucial for preventing fetal compromise and adverse outcomes. However, traditional methods encounter limitations arising from equipment performance, data…
Despite continuing medical advances, the rate of newborn morbidity and mortality globally remains high, with over 6 million casualties every year. The prediction of pathologies affecting newborns based on their cry is thus of significant…
Perinatal Asphyxia is one of the top three causes of infant mortality in developing countries, resulting to the death of about 1.2 million newborns every year. At its early stages, the presence of asphyxia cannot be conclusively determined…
Infant crying can serve as a crucial indicator of various physiological and emotional states. This paper introduces a comprehensive approach detecting infant cries within audio data. We integrate Wav2Vec with traditional audio features and…
Background: Infant cry acoustics provide a promising window into early neurodevelopment and may serve as scalable biomarkers for neurodevelopmental disorders. However, conventional microphone-based recordings are highly susceptible to…
Since the 1960s, neonatal clinicians have known that newborns suffering from certain neurological conditions exhibit altered crying patterns such as the high-pitched cry in birth asphyxia. Despite an annual burden of over 1.5 million infant…
Detection of baby cries is an important part of baby monitoring and health care. Almost all existing methods use supervised SVM, CNN, or their varieties. In this work, we propose to use weakly supervised anomaly detection to detect a baby…
The safety of children in children home has become an increasing social concern, and the purpose of this experiment is to use machine learning applied to detect the scenarios of child abuse to increase the safety of children. This…
Decoding infant cry causes remains challenging for healthcare monitoring due to short nonstationary signals, limited annotations, and strong domain shifts across infants and datasets. We propose a compact acoustic framework that fuses…
A fast implementation of fundamental frequency estimation is presented in this work. The algorithm is based on a frequency-domain approach. It was mainly develop for tonal sounds and used in Canary bird song analysis. The method was…
We present a novel computerized fetal heart rate intrapartum algorithm for early and individualized prediction of fetal cardiovascular decompensation, a key event in the causal chain leading to brain injury. This real-time machine learning…
In clinical voice signal analysis, mishandling of subharmonic voicing may cause an acoustic parameter to signal false negatives. As such, the ability of a fundamental frequency estimator to identify speaking fundamental frequency is…
Speech foundation models (SFMs) have achieved state-of-the-art results for various speech tasks in supervised (e.g. Whisper) or self-supervised systems (e.g. WavLM). However, the performance of SFMs for child ASR has not been systematically…
Orofacial clefts are among the most common congenital craniofacial abnormalities, yet accurate prenatal detection remains challenging due to the scarcity of experienced specialists and the relative rarity of the condition. Early and…
