In this study we compared various neural network types for the task of automatic infant vocalization classification, i.e convolutional, recurrent and fully-connected networks as well as combinations of thereof. The goal was to first determine the optimal configuration for each network type to then identify the type with the highest overall performance. This investigation helps to employ neural networks more effectively to infant vocalization classification tasks, which typically offer low amounts of training data. To this end, we defined a unified neural network architecture scheme for audio classification from which we derived various network types. For each type we performed a semi-random hyperparameter search which employed regression trees to both focus the search space as well as derive insights on the most influential parameters. We finally compared the test performances of the best performing configurations in an contest-like setup. Our key findings are: (1) Networks with convolutional stages reached the highest performance, regardless of being combined with fully-connected or recurrent layers. (2) The most influential architectural hyperparameter for all types were the integration operations for reducing tensor dimensionality between network stages. The best performing configurations reached test performances of 75% unweighted average recall, surpassing previously published benchmarks.
