soundClass: Sound Classification Using Convolutional Neural Networks

Provides an all-in-one solution for automatic classification of sound events using convolutional neural networks (CNN). The main purpose is to provide a sound classification workflow, from annotating sound events in recordings to training and automating model usage in real-life situations. Using the package requires a pre-compiled collection of recordings with sound events of interest and it can be employed for: 1) Annotation: create a database of annotated recordings, 2) Training: prepare train data from annotated recordings and fit CNN models, 3) Classification: automate the use of the fitted model for classifying new recordings. By using automatic feature selection and a user-friendly GUI for managing data and training/deploying models, this package is intended to be used by a broad audience as it does not require specific expertise in statistics, programming or sound analysis.
