Smart Crib Control System Based on Sentiment Analysis

One of the key selling points of smart home devices is that they provide solutions tailored to our needs. Identifying this need, however, is not always trivial, especially when dealing with infants who are not yet able to express their wishes using clear words. In this paper, we present preliminary work on identifying infants' needs based on categorizing their crying behavior. Our solution is embedded in a smart crib system which is designed to support parents in better understanding their babies' sentiment. The high accuracy of our experimental results are promising.
