29、r just needs a hug. Babububuu, he says.What I need is a baby cry translator. Thats just what a team of researchers say theyve developed. Experienced nurses or pediatricians(儿科医师)can identify why a baby is crying because they have experience, says Lichuan Liu, a professor of electrical engineering at
30、 Northern Illinois University, who conducted the research. We talked to them, and they mentioned that based on the crys sound therere some clues(线索).So Liu set out to identify the features of cries that can help mark them as expressions of pain or discomfort. These features include differences in pi
31、tch(音高)and frequency. The team then developed an algorithm(算法)based on automatic speech recognition to detect and identify these features. This cry language recognition algorithm was trained on recordings of baby cries taken from a hospital. It uses compressed sensing, a process that reconstructs a
32、signal based on incomplete data. It can identify a baby cry against a background of, say, adult speech or loud television sounds. By classifying different cry features, like pitch, the algorithm can suggest whether the cry is due to sickness or pain, and identify the degree of urgency. The team had
33、experienced pediatric care providers assess forty-eight baby cry recordings for probable cause of crying-hunger, tiredness, etc. They then compared these to the algorithms assessments. The algorithm agreed with the humans 70% of the time. Generally, so-called uncommon cry signals-signs of pain or si
34、ckness-are high-pitched and very loud compared to ordinary crying.Liu and her team continue to train the technology for greater accuracy.

38、ive on babies. D. Its only been tested on recorded cries now.DGenetic modification(基因改良)dates back to ancient times, when humans influenced genetics by selectively breeding organisms (培育生物)according to an article by Gabriel Rangel, a public health scientist at Harvard University. When repeated over
39、several generations, this process leads to great changes in the organisms.Dogs were likely the first animals to be purposefully genetically modified, with the beginnings of that effort dating back about 32.000 years, according to Rangel. Wild wolves joined our hunter-gatherer ancestors in East Asia,
40、 where the aggressive canines(犬科)were kept in the household and bred to become docile and easier to get along with. Over thousands of years, people bred dogs with different desired character and physical characteristics, eventually leading to the wide variety of dogs we see today.The earliest known
41、genetically modified plant is wheat. This valuable crop is thought to have originated in the Middle East and northern Africa in the area known as the Fertile Crescent, according to a 2015 article published in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine. Ancient farmers selectively bred whe
42、at grasses beginning around 9000 B. C. to create improved varieties with larger grains and hardier seeds. By 8000 B C. , the cultivation(培养)of improved wheat had spread across Europe and Asia. The continued selective cultivation of wheat resulted in the thousands of varieties that are grown today.Co
43、rn has also experienced some of greatest genetic changes over the past few thousand years. The main crop was changed from a plant known as teosinte, a wild grass with tiny ears and only a few seeds. Over time, farmers selectively bred the teosinte grasses to create corn with large ears bursting with
44、 seeds.Beyond those crops, many of the fruit and vegetables we eat today, including bananas, apples and tomatoes, have experienced several generations of selective raising, according to Rangel.In 1973, researchers also modified bacteria to be used as drugs. In 1982, human insulin (胰岛素)made from gene
