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…

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…

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,…

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 assessment of children at risk of autism typically involves a clinician observing, taking notes, and rating children's behaviors. A machine learning model that can label adult and child audio may largely save labor in coding children's…

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 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…

The detection and analysis of infant cry and snoring events are crucial tasks within the field of audio signal processing. While existing datasets for general sound event detection are plentiful, they often fall short in providing…

This paper describes the Ubenwa CryCeleb dataset - a labeled collection of infant cries - and the accompanying CryCeleb 2023 task, which is a public speaker verification challenge based on cry sounds. We released more than 6 hours of…

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…

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…

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…

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…

This paper addresses the problem of infants' cry fundamental frequency estimation. The fundamental frequency is estimated using a modified simple inverse filtering tracking (SIFT) algorithm. The performance of the modified SIFT is studied…

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…

Neonatal pain assessment in clinical environments is challenging as it is discontinuous and biased. Facial/body occlusion can occur in such settings due to clinical condition, developmental delays, prone position, or other external factors.…

From crying to babbling and then to speech, infant's vocal tract goes through anatomic restructuring. In this paper, we propose a non-invasive fast method of using infant cry signals with convolutional neural network (CNN) based age…

Stuttering is a varied speech disorder that harms an individual's communication ability. Persons who stutter (PWS) often use speech therapy to cope with their condition. Improving speech recognition systems for people with such non-typical…

The goal of this investigation was the assessment of acoustic infant vocalizations by laypersons. More specifically, the goal was to identify (1) the set of most salient classes for infant vocalizations, (2) their relationship to each other…

Every year, 3 million newborns die within the first month of life. Birth asphyxia and other breathing-related conditions are a leading cause of mortality during the neonatal phase. Current diagnostic methods are too sophisticated in terms…
