# laughter-detection

### UPDATE(August 2021):
* The library has been updated to use a newer detection model that is more accurate and more robust to background noise. It also now uses Pytorch instead of Tensorflow. An older version of the software from the 2018 paper is still available [here](https://github.com/jrgillick/laughter-detection/tree/v1.0).

## Overview

This library contains code and models to automatically detect and segment regions containing human laughter from an audio file. The [checkpoints](checkpoints/) folder contains models trained on the [Switchboard](https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/ldc97s62) data set.

This library also includes [annotations](data/audioset/annotations/clean_laughter_annotations.csv) for evaluating laughter detection in real-world environments using the [AudioSet](https://research.google.com/audioset/) dataset.
