Hello,
My name is Tien-jui Lee. I am an UW EE PhD student. I am part of a research team conducting a research project on automatic cough detection especially for kids with Cystic fibrosis(CF). In sum, we are trying to develop an algorithm to detect cough episodes from a continuous, ambulatory audio recording using a recorder in a real-world setting. This work will make cough assessment a much easier task and help health professionals conduct research on cough with less effort.
We are recording a large database of cough/non-cough sounds in varying environments and looking for Annotators:
They will listen to the audio recordings and help us to label the “type” of each part of the audio recordings. For example, 1:20 – 1:22 is a cough, laughter, speech, silent, or anything else. We will provide a software tool to help them achieve this. They will be paid *$12/work hour*. Some more information could be found here:
If you are interested in participating in this study as an annotator, or would like more information about the study, please contact me at tienlee@uw.edu directly.
Thanks you for considering participation in our study.
Sincerely,
Tien
