Abstract


Classifying and detecting acoustic scenes is a rapidly developing area of research, as the signal produced by the sound of audio contains information that visual data cannot represent. In this paper we deal with the problem of detecting acoustic scenes involving domestic violence. To this end, we propose the use of a machine learning method using the SVM classifier to detect scenes of domestic violence of a man against a woman using sound. We present analysis of experiments with three different features extracted from the audios. As a result, we obtained the best performance using the MFCC feature achieving an accuracy of 73.14%.

Keywords: acoustic scenes classification, machine learning, domestic violence
