Enhancing Infant Crying Detection with Gradient Boosting for Improved Emotional and Mental Health Diagnostics
About
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 employ Gradient Boosting Machines for cry classification. We validate our approach on a real world dataset, demonstrating significant performance improvements over existing methods.
