Extended performance analysis of deep-learning algorithms for mice vocalization segmentation.

ABSTRACT: Ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) analysis represents a fundamental tool to study animal communication. It can be used to perform a behavioral investigation of mice for ethological studies and in the field of neuroscience and neuropharmacology. The USVs are usually recorded with a microphone sensitive to ultrasound frequencies and then processed by specific software, which help the operator to identify and characterize different families of calls. Recently, many automated systems have been proposed for automatically performing both the detection and the classification of the USVs. Of course, the USV segmentation represents the crucial step for the general framework, since the quality of the call processing strictly depends on how accurately the call itself has been previously detected.
