Abstract:Snoring is one of the most prominent symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAH), a highly prevalent disease that causes repetitive collapse and cessation of the upper airway. Thus, accurate snore sound monitoring and analysis is crucial. However, the traditional monitoring method polysomnography (PSG) requires the patients to stay at a sleep clinic for the whole night and be connected to many pieces of equipment. An alternative and less invasive way is passive monitoring using a smartphone at home or in the clinical settings. But, there is a challenge: the environment may be shared by people such that the raw audio may contain the snore activities of the bed partner or other person. False capturing of the snoring activity could lead to critical false alarms and misdiagnosis of the patients. To address this limitation, we propose a hypothesis that snore sound contains unique identity information which can be used for user recognition. We analyzed various machine learning models: Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), GMM-UBM (Universial Background Model), and a Deep Neural Network (DNN) on MPSSC - an open source snoring dataset to evaluate the validity of our hypothesis. Our results are promising as we achieved around 90% accuracy in identification and verification tasks. This work marks the first step towards understanding the practicality of snore based user monitoring to enable multiple healthcare applicaitons.
