Researchers develop a smart program to learn the causes of crying children

science and technology

Researchers at the Institute developed IEEE The Chinese Association of Automation, a sophisticated artificial intelligence system, is able to understand, identify and recognize infant cries, to help parents know what their children want.

The system can detect whether crying is due to hunger, fatigue, fatigue or pain, although each child's cry is unique, but it shares a number of common features when they are caused by the same causes.

Infant Crying

To develop this smart program, the team used an algorithm based on automatic speech recognition to detect and recognize the cries of children. These audio signals were identified by a process called "compact sensor", especially useful for loud environments. Researchers finally devised a language recognition algorithm Crying, which can distinguish the natural cry and the abnormal in the noisy environment.

"There is a lot of information about health that can be learned from the sounds of different screams," said Lichuan Liu, author of the study and assistant professor of electrical engineering and director of the digital signal processing laboratory. "The differences between the audio signals actually carry a lot of information, Crying ".
