Dear colleagues,

Ubenwa Health in collaboration with the SpeechBrain project is launching a public competition aiming to promote research in infant cry analysis.

The task should be familiar/interesting for people working on speaker verification but using the cries of newborn infants instead of adult speech.

Training data and the accompanied baseline (paper & code) will be released on May 1, which is the starting date of the competition.

The challenge is not attached to a particular conference but we encourage participants to write a technical report and offer prizes for top-3 performing systems
