ABSTRACT
Acoustic alarms have been credited with saving thousands of lives from fires, gas leakage and electric leakage each year. By broadcasting sound with different tones, loudness and timbres, acoustic alarms keep people aware of surroundings, inform them of serendipitous events, and notify them critical information. However, maintaining the safety awareness through the acoustic alarm is difficult for people who are deaf or less sensitive to acoustic signals. They are too often among the last to access important information even when they are in dangers, especially when they stay alone. By leveraging the microphone on commodity smartphones, universal sound awareness applications are becoming possible. Deep learning models have large leaps in accuracy and robustness[1].

A siren identification system using deep learning to aid hearing-impaired people
AbstractThe research presented in this paper is aiming to address the safety issue that hearing-impaired people are facing when it comes to identifying a siren sound. For that purpose, a siren identification system, using deep learning, was ...
Poster: Fingerprint-Face Friction Based Earable Authentication
CCS '22: Proceedings of the 2022 ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications SecurityEar wearables (earables) have become an emerging and wide acceptable platform for various applications. Because of the limited input interface of earables, traditional authentication methods become less desired. However, the feature-rich sensing ...
