Abstract(in English) A method for estimating why a baby is crying is proposed using frequency analyses of the voice. Here, especially three causes, hunger, sleepiness and discomfort, are considered for classification. Moreover, the method intends for younger babies aged form 2 to 4 months old. Some typical characteristics are obtained for hunger, sleepiness, and discomfort, respectively, in the shape of the power spectra of the isolated cries from 21 2-4 month-old babies. Using the difference of these characteristics, a rule-based system is proposed, which can classify cries of babies from 2 to 4 months old in a hungry state, a sleepy state, and an discomfort one. Moreover, the finale estimation for a series of crying is made by majority decision. Computer simulations show that about 85% of the babies' cries are correctly classified.
