Snoring identification method based on residual convolutional neural network

Snoring is a typical symptom of sleep disorder and it is important to identify the occurrence of snoring because it causes sleep apnea. In this paper, we proposes a residual convolutional neural network as an efficient snoring identification algorithm. Residual convolutional neural network, which is a structure combining residual learning and convolutional neural network, effectively extracts features existing in data more than conventional neural network and improves the accuracy of snoring identification. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed snoring algorithm is superior to that of the conventional methods.
