This paper proposes a deep learning framework for classification of BBC television programmes using audio. The audio is firstly transformed into spectrograms, which are fed into a pre-trained convolutional Neural Network (CNN), obtaining predicted probabilities of sound events occurring in the audio recording. Statistics for the predicted probabilities and detected sound events are then calculated to extract discriminative features representing the television programmes. Finally, the embedded features extracted are fed into a classifier for classifying the programmes into different genres. Our experiments are conducted over a dataset of 6,160 programmes belonging to nine genres labelled by the BBC. We achieve an average classification accuracy of 93.7% over 14-fold cross validation. This demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed framework for the task of audio-based classification of television programmes.

In this paper, we present deep learning frameworks for audio-visual scene classification (SC) and indicate how individual visual and audio features as well as their combination affect SC performance. Our extensive experiments, which are conducted on DCASE (IEEE AASP Challenge on Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events) Task 1B development dataset, achieve the best classification accuracy of 82.2%, 91.1%, and 93.9% with audio input only, visual input only, and both audio-visual input, respectively. The highest classification accuracy of 93.9%, obtained from an ensemble of audio-based and visual-based frameworks, shows an improvement of 16.5% compared with DCASE baseline.
In this paper, we presents a low-complexity deep learning frameworks for acoustic scene classification (ASC). The proposed framework can be separated into three main steps: Front-end spectrogram extraction, back-end classification, and late fusion of predicted probabilities. First, we use Mel filter, Gammatone filter and Constant Q Transfrom (CQT) to transform raw audio signal into spectrograms, where both frequency and temporal features are presented. Three spectrograms are then fed into three individual back-end convolutional neural networks (CNNs), classifying into ten urban scenes. Finally, a late fusion of three predicted probabilities obtained from three CNNs is conducted to achieve the final classification result. To reduce the complexity of our proposed CNN network, we apply two model compression techniques: model restriction and decomposed convolution. Our extensive experiments, which are conducted on DCASE 2021 (IEEE AASP Challenge on Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events) Task 1A development dataset, achieve a low-complexity CNN based framework with 128 KB trainable parameters and the best classification accuracy of 66.7%, improving DCASE baseline by 19.0%
Given the recent surge in developments of deep learning, this article provides a review of the state-of-the-art deep learning techniques for audio signal processing. Speech, music, and environmental sound processing are considered side-by-side, in order to point out similarities and differences between the domains, highlighting general methods, problems, key references, and potential for cross-fertilization between areas. The dominant feature representations (in particular, log-mel spectra and raw waveform) and deep learning models are reviewed, including convolutional neural networks, variants of the long short-term memory architecture, as well as more audio-specific neural network models. Subsequently, prominent deep learning application areas are covered, i.e. audio recognition (automatic speech recognition, music information retrieval, environmental sound detection, localization and tracking) and synthesis and transformation (source separation, audio enhancement, generative models for speech, sound, and music synthesis). Finally, key issues and future questions regarding deep learning applied to audio signal processing are identified.
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of deaths and severely threaten human health in daily life. On the one hand, there have been dramatically increasing demands from both the clinical practice and the smart home application for monitoring the heart status of subjects suffering from chronic cardiovascular diseases. On the other hand, experienced physicians who can perform an efficient auscultation are still lacking in terms of number. Automatic heart sound classification leveraging the power of advanced signal processing and machine learning technologies has shown encouraging results. Nevertheless, human hand-crafted features are expensive and time-consuming. To this end, we propose a novel deep representation learning method with an attention mechanism for heart sound classification. In this paradigm, high-level representations are learnt automatically from the recorded heart sound data. Particularly, a global attention pooling layer improves the performance of the learnt representations by estimating the contribution of each unit in feature maps. The Heart Sounds Shenzhen (HSS) corpus (170 subjects involved) is used to validate the proposed method. Experimental results validate that, our approach can achieve an unweighted average recall of 51.2% for classifying three categories of heart sounds, i. e., normal, mild, and moderate/severe annotated by cardiologists with the help of Echocardiography.
Personalized recommendation on new track releases has always been a challenging problem in the music industry. To combat this problem, we first explore user listening history and demographics to construct a user embedding representing the users music preference. With the user embedding and audio data from users liked and disliked tracks, an audio embedding can be obtained for each track using metric learning with Siamese networks. For a new track, we can decide the best group of users to recommend by computing the similarity between the tracks audio embedding and different user embeddings, respectively. The proposed system yields state-of-the-art performance on content-based music recommendation tested with millions of users and tracks. Also, we extract audio embeddings as features for music genre classification tasks. The results show the generalization ability of our audio embeddings.
