Snoring is one of the earliest symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS). Snore detection is the first step in developing non-invasive, low-cost, and totally sound-based OSAHS analysis approaches. In this work, we propose a simple...

Primate long calls are high-amplitude vocalizations that can be critical in maintaining intragroup contact and intergroup spacing, and can encode abundant information about a call's producer, such as age, sex, and individual identity. Long calls of t...
