ABSTRACT

In this paper, \\C focused on automation of Dunstan Bab) Language. This system uses MFCC as feature
e\lraetion and codebook as ti!oture matching. The codebook or clusters is made from the proceeds of all the
buhy's cries du1a, by using the k-mcans clustering. The datn is taken from Dunstan Baby Language videos
1hat has been processed. The d:ita is divided into two, 1raining data and testing data. There are 140 training
dato, each of \\hich represents the 28 hungry infant cries. 28 sleepy infant cries, 28 \\anted to burp infant
cries, 28 in pain infant cric,. and 28 uncomfortable infant cries (could be because his diaper is wet/too
hot/cold air or an} thing else}. lhe ャ」セオョァ@
data is 35, respectively 7 infant cries for each type of infant cry.
The research '.tr) i ng frame length: 25 ms/frame length = 275. 40 ms/frame length = 440. 60 ms/ frame
length = 660. O\ erlap frame: 0°o. RUセッN@
40%, the number of codewords: I to 18, except for frame length
275 and O\.crlap frame = O u-,ing I to 29 clusters. The identification of this type of infant cries uses the
minimum distance of euclidean distance. Accuraq \aluc is between 37% and 94%. Sound 'ch' is the most
familiar. whereas sound ·m,11· is always missunderstood and generally it is known as 'neh' and 'eairh' .

The weakness point of this research is the silent is onl) be cut at the beginning and at the end of speech
signal. Hopefully. in the nc\t research. the silent cnn be cul in the middle of sound so that it can produce
more specific sound. It has impucl on the bigger accurac) as \\ell.

"eairh" means pain (\\ind) in the stomach. and
"heh" means uneomfonablc (could ll thing else).

they make if

there is a software that can automatically generate
the meaning of their infant cries. It can strengthen
their conclusions. In addition, this software will
olso be useful for parents who do not attend any
DBL 1taining or seminar, so parenls can understand
the language or the crymg of their baby.
Research on infant cries has been done by
researchers, such as: cries classification of normal
nod abnormal (hypoxia-oxygen lacl..s) infant by

using a neural neh\Orl.. which produces 85%
accuracy f I], the classificntion of healthy infants
and infants who experienced pain like brain
damage, lip cleft palate, hydrocephalus, and sudden
infant death syndrome by using Hidden Markov
Model (HMM) which produces 91% accuracy [2].
Other research is the classification of three types of
infant cries who are nonnal, deaf, and infants with
usphyxia (can not breathe spontaneously and
regularly) at the age of one day to nine months, by
