As a hearing-impaired user, I'd actually love something like this if I could "train" it to specific sounds, like my doorbell. Since my phone is almost always in my pocket or hand at home, it would be very easy to feel the vibration and I'd know someone rang the doorbell.
- Houshalter 13y agoThat's a cool idea. I'm not sure how reliable machine learning on audio would be with only a few samples though.
- sdrothrock 13y agoI'm not sure either, but I want to say that since the sound will be at a given frequency in a given pattern, you could probably pick it out relatively reliably... Also, unlike fire alarms, I think I'd be less worried about false positives or the thing not working -- it would be an annoyance, not something that could potentially endanger my life.
- Houshalter 13y agoUnsupervised learning to extract high level features might work. Then get examples of the kinds of sounds people are training it on and use that to extract even better features.
