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. @@ -9,7 +14,6 @@ Code, Annotations and Models are described in the following papers: - Jon Gillick, Wesley Deng, Kimiko Ryokai, and David Bamman, "Robust Laughter Detection in Noisy Environments" (2021), Interspeech 2021. - Kimiko Ryokai, Elena Durán López, Noura Howell, Jon Gillick, and David Bamman (2018), "Capturing, Representing, and Interacting with Laughter," CHI 2018 -An older version of the software from the 2018 paper is still available [here](https://github.com/jrgillick/laughter-detection/tree/v1.0). ## Installation
