Area of Science:

Artificial Intelligence
Infant Health
Signal Processing

Background:

Infant crying is a primary communication method, but its diverse causes are challenging for parents to interpret.
Accurate identification of infant needs is crucial for well-being and parental support.
Current methods for interpreting infant cries lack objective, data-driven approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate deep learning (DL) models for recognizing infant needs and health status from audio recordings.
To compare the performance of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithms.
To provide a technological solution for parents to better understand their infant's vocalizations.

Main Methods:

Utilized 1607 audio recordings of infant cries, each 10 seconds long.
Extracted audio features using mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC).
Applied deep learning algorithms: CNN, LSTM, and ANN for classification tasks.

Main Results:

CNN and LSTM achieved approximately 95% accuracy in differentiating healthy from sick infants.
CNN demonstrated superior performance in recognizing specific infant needs (e.g., hunger, pain), reaching up to 60% accuracy.
Both CNN and LSTM outperformed ANN in most performance metrics.

Conclusions:

Deep learning models, particularly CNN, show significant potential in interpreting infant cries.
These findings can inform the development of applications to assist parents in understanding infant communication.
AI-powered analysis of infant vocalizations offers a promising avenue for improving infant care and parental support.
