Ahem Detector with Deep Learning

Francesco is Data Scientist at Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson and a Science writer. He is committed to "A World Without Disease" paradigm shift in healthcare, leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Data Science to predict risk and intercepting diseases. He is focused on putting machine learning at the service of human beings. Do you know why you can't hear the ugly ahem sounds on the podcast Data Science at Home? Let me introduce the ahem detector, a deep convolutional neural network that is trained on transformed audio signals to recognize "ahem" sounds. The network has been trained to detect such signals on the episodes of Data Science at Home, the podcast about data science at worldofpiggy.com/podcast.
