给婴儿哭声分段——226 段哭声里的吸气与呼气
Construction and validation of an automated time label segmentation method for infant cries. · BMC pediatrics
婴儿的哭声是了解其生理与心理状态的重要窗口，在早期发育阶段区分正常与异常情况有临床价值。但多数哭声研究在分析时没有对"吸气"与"呼气"两个阶段做分段——这件事本身就很难。
这项研究开发了一个音频数据分析工具，能够对婴儿哭声中的吸气与呼气阶段进行自动分割，并逐段提取时长、频率和强度参数。研究共收集并分析了 226 段婴儿哭声：结果显示，早产儿与足月儿的声音参数存在显著差异。整个流程实现了婴儿哭声的自动识别与数字化采集，为理解哭声背后的意义提供了一个客观方法。
三点边界必须写清楚：其一，226 是哭声音频片段数，不是婴儿人数；其二，这是方法构建与验证研究，参数差异不等于诊断结论，涉及婴幼儿的内容不作筛查、诊断类表述；其三，论文致谢中写明感谢成都医学院医学声音数据库的支持，以及成都智矩数据科技有限公司的专业讨论（professional discussion）——致谢表明公司提供了专业讨论，不表明公司研发了该方法或拥有相关数据。CV 原题录在徐帆姓名后标有 #；本文仅保留 CV 记载，符号含义与通讯作者身份以论文正式版本脚注为准。

论文摘要（原文）
Infant cries serve as critical indicators of an infant's physiological and psychological states, holding essential clinical value in distinguishing between normal and pathological conditions during early development. However, most studies on infant cries failed to segment between inhalation and exhalation during the crying analysis because segmentation remains great challenge. Therefore, we developed an audio data analysis tool capable of accurately segmenting inhalation and exhalation phases in infant cries, followed by extraction of the duration, frequency, and intensity parameters of each segment. Here, 226 sound clips of infants' cries were collected and analyzed. The results revealed the significant differences in sound parameters between premature and term infants. The whole process allows automatic identification and digital collection of infant cries, and it provides an objective method to evaluate the significance behind the cries.
