Recent approaches to audio classification are typically developed for single channel recordings of acoustic events. In contrast, approaches to acoustic classification of multichannel recordings of domestic audio have not been thoroughly investigated, especially for household recorded acoustic scenes. In this paper, we consider domestic multi-channel audio classification through the use of a Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) model. The DCNN is applied to cepstral and spectral-based…

TLDR
This work focuses on the phase component of the STFT coefficients to estimate the sound source location by classifying the closest microphone array (node) by mapping of the phase differences information within the time-frequency domain.
DASEE A Synthetic Database of Domestic Acoustic Scenes and Events in Dementia Patients Environment
TLDR
This work details its approach on generating an unbiased synthetic domestic audio database, consisting of sound scenes and events, emulated in both quiet and noisy environments, and presents an 11-class database containing excerpts of clean and noisy signals.
An Application for Dementia Patient Monitoring with Sound Level Assessment Tool
TLDR
This work proposes an application with an intuitive interface that allows the acoustic monitoring of the patient without infringing their privacy and implements a sound level assessment tool, such that the time-average levels of the sound are compared to the recommended levels depending on the specific location and time of the day.

TLDR
Experimental results demonstrate that PNCC processing provides substantial improvements in recognition accuracy compared to MFCC and PLP processing for speech in the presence of various types of additive noise and in reverberant environments, with only slightly greater computational cost than conventional MFCC processing.
