Classification of Signals

556
In signal processing, signals are classified based on various characteristics: continuous-time versus discrete-time, periodic versus aperiodic, analog versus digital, and causal versus noncausal. Each category highlights distinct properties crucial for understanding and manipulating signals.
A continuous-time signal holds a value at every instant in time, representing information seamlessly. In contrast, a discrete-time signal holds values only at specific moments, often denoted as x(n), where...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Diagnostics
  • Bioacoustics
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Infants cannot verbalize symptoms, making early diagnosis difficult.
  • Infant crying is a primary communication method for distress and needs.
  • Accurate diagnosis of conditions like neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and sepsis is vital due to high mortality rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a medical diagnostic system for interpreting infant cry audio signals (CAS).
  • To improve the accuracy and classification rate of diagnosing infant pathologies using cry analysis.
  • To leverage deep learning algorithms and fused audio features for enhanced diagnostic capabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a dataset of labeled infant cry audio signals, including those with RDS, sepsis, and healthy cries.
  • Extracted audio features: harmonic ratio (HR), Gammatone frequency cepstral coefficients (GFCCs), and spectrograms via a pre-trained CNN.
  • Fused these features and applied machine learning models (RF, SVM, DNN), with a focus on deep learning for feature extraction and fusion.

Main Results:

  • The system achieved a highest accuracy of 97.50% using fused spectrogram, HR, and GFCC features processed through a deep learning model.
  • Feature fusion through the learning process, particularly with spectrograms, significantly improved classification compared to simple concatenation.
  • The deep learning approach effectively extracted sparsely represented features, enhancing the separation between different infant pathologies.

Conclusions:

  • Fusing diverse audio features, especially spectrograms, within a deep learning framework is crucial for accurate infant cry analysis.
  • The proposed system demonstrates a promising, non-invasive method for the early diagnosis of critical infant medical conditions.
  • This approach outperforms previous benchmarks by enabling multi-classification of pathologies using advanced feature engineering and deep learning.
