Cry is an essential way for babies to communicate. Many studies have shown that some information from a baby, such as health condition, emotion, hunger, and disability, can be interpreted by analyzing the acoustic characteristics of their cries. Furthermore, cry is a biological alarm to express the needs and wants of the baby and notifies the caregivers to take actions. It is imperative for caregivers to respond to the cries of babies so that the needs of babies can be satisfied in time. However, it is very difficult for caregivers (e.g. parents) to pay attention to their babies all the time. In addition, first time parents confuse cries and other baby sounds such as moans, and they may not know the proper timing to take care of their baby. A tool to assist them to recognize cries of their baby is preferred. Therefore, a reliably baby cry detection algorithm allows for helping parents to provide improved care.
