• Abstract: 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 and unsupervised infant cry detection. The first is an annotated dataset for cry segmentation, which enables supervised models to achieve state-of-the-art performance. Additionally, we propose a novel unsupervised method, Causal Representation Spare Transition Clustering (CRSTC), based on causal temporal representation, which helps address the issue of data scarcity more generally. By integrating the detected cry segments, we significantly improve the performance of downstream infant cry classification, highlighting the potential of this approach for infant care applications.

  We explore self-supervised learning (SSL) for analyzing a first-of-its-kind database of cry recordings containing clinical indications of more than a thousand newborns. Specifically, we target cry-based detection of neurological injury as well as identification of cry triggers such as pain, hunger, and discomfort. We show that pre-training with SSL contrastive loss (SimCLR) performs significantly better than supervised pre-training for both neuro injury and cry triggers.

  This work aims at advancing temporal action detection (TAD) using an encoder-decoder framework with action queries. We first propose a relational attention mechanism in the decoder, which guides the attention among queries based on their relations. Lastly, we propose to predict the localization quality of each action query at inference in order to distinguish high-quality queries.

  The assessment of general movements (GMs) in infants is a useful tool in the early diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders. Recent video-based GMs classification has attracted attention, but this approach would be strongly affected by irrelevant information. We propose an automated GMs classification method, which consists of preprocessing networks that remove unnecessary background information.

Owing to the 1-dimensional property of TAD, we are able to convert the coarse-grained detection annotations to fine-grained semantic segmentation annotations for free. We propose an end-to-end framework SegTAD composed of a 1D semantic segmentation network (1D-SSN) and a proposal detection network (PDN)

• Reference-based Defect Detection Network [57.89399576743665]
  The first issue is the texture shift which means a trained defect detector model will be easily affected by unseen texture. The second issue is partial visual confusion which indicates that a partial defect box is visually similar with a complete box. We propose a Reference-based Defect Detection Network (RDDN) to tackle these two problems.
