Résumé

Early detection of infant pathologies by non-invasive means is a critical aspect of pediatric healthcare. Audio analysis of infant crying has emerged as a promising method to identify various health conditions without direct medical intervention. In this study, we present a cutting-edge machine learning model that employs audio spectrograms and transformer-based algorithms to classify infant crying into distinct pathological categories. Our innovative model bypasses the extensive preprocessing typically associated with audio data by exploiting the self-attention mechanisms of the transformer, thereby preserving the integrity of the audio’s diagnostic features. When benchmarked against established machine learning and deep learning models, our approach demonstrated a remarkable 98.69% accuracy, 98.73% precision, 98.71% recall, and an F1 score of 98.71%, surpassing the performance of both traditional machine learning and convolutional neural network models. This research not only provides a novel diagnostic tool that is scalable and efficient but also opens avenues for improving pediatric care through early and accurate detection of pathologies.
