In this paper, we describe our method for DCASE2019 task3: Sound Event Localization and Detection (SELD). We use four CRNN SELDnet-like single output models which run in a consecutive manner to recover all possible information of occurring events. We decompose the SELD task into estimating number of active sources, estimating direction of arrival of a single source, estimating direction of arrival of the second source where the direction of the first one is known and a multi-label classification task. We use custom consecutive ensemble to predict events onset, offset, direction of arrival and class. The proposed approach is evaluated on the TAU Spatial Sound Events 2019 - Ambisonic and it is compared with other participants submissions.

In this work, we propose to extend a state-of-the-art multi-source localization system based on a convolutional recurrent neural network and Ambisonics signals. We significantly improve the performance of the baseline network by changing the layout between convolutional and pooling layers. We propose several configurations with more convolutional layers and smaller pooling sizes in-between, so that less information is lost across the layers, leading to a better feature extraction. In parallel, we test the systems ability to localize up to 3 sources, in which case the improved feature extraction provides the most significant boost in accuracy. We evaluate and compare these improved configurations on synthetic and real-world data. The obtained results show a quite substantial improvement of the multiple sound source localization performance over the baseline network.
Weakly Labelled learning has garnered lot of attention in recent years due to its potential to scale Sound Event Detection (SED) and is formulated as Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) problem. This paper proposes a Multi-Task Learning (MTL) framework for learning from Weakly Labelled Audio data which encompasses the traditional MIL setup. To show the utility of proposed framework, we use the input TimeFrequency representation (T-F) reconstruction as the auxiliary task. We show that the chosen auxiliary task de-noises internal T-F representation and improves SED performance under noisy recordings. Our second contribution is introducing two step Attention Pooling mechanism. By having 2-steps in attention mechanism, the network retains better T-F level information without compromising SED performance. The visualisation of first step and second step attention weights helps in localising the audio-event in T-F domain. For evaluating the proposed framework, we remix the DCASE 2019 task 1 acoustic scene data with DCASE 2018 Task 2 sounds event data under 0, 10 and 20 db SNR resulting in a multi-class Weakly labelled SED problem. The proposed total framework outperforms existing benchmark models over all SNRs, specifically 22.3 %, 12.8 %, 5.9 % improvement over benchmark model on 0, 10 and 20 dB SNR respectively. We carry out ablation study to determine the contribution of each auxiliary task and 2-step Attention Pooling to the SED performance improvement. The code is publicly released
This paper presents and explores a robust deep learning framework for auscultation analysis. This aims to classify anomalies in respiratory cycles and detect disease, from respiratory sound recordings. The framework begins with front-end feature extraction that transforms input sound into a spectrogram representation. Then, a back-end deep learning network is used to classify the spectrogram features into categories of respiratory anomaly cycles or diseases. Experiments, conducted over the ICBHI benchmark dataset of respiratory sounds, confirm three main contributions towards respiratory-sound analysis. Firstly, we carry out an extensive exploration of the effect of spectrogram type, spectral-time resolution, overlapped/non-overlapped windows, and data augmentation on final prediction accuracy. This leads us to propose a novel deep learning system, built on the proposed framework, which outperforms current state-of-the-art methods. Finally, we apply a Teacher-Student scheme to achieve a trade-off between model performance and model complexity which additionally helps to increase the potential of the proposed framework for building real-time applications.
In this paper, we introduce a streaming keyphrase detection system that can be easily customized to accurately detect any phrase composed of words from a large vocabulary. The system is implemented with an end-to-end trained automatic speech recognition (ASR) model and a text-independent speaker verification model. To address the challenge of detecting these keyphrases under various noisy conditions, a speaker separation model is added to the feature frontend of the speaker verification model, and an adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) algorithm is included to exploit cross-microphone noise coherence. Our experiments show that the text-independent speaker verification model largely reduces the false triggering rate of the keyphrase detection, while the speaker separation model and adaptive noise cancellation largely reduce false rejections.
Acoustic Event Detection (AED), aiming at detecting categories of events based on audio signals, has found application in many intelligent systems. Recently deep neural network significantly advances this field and reduces detection errors to a large scale. However how to efficiently execute deep models in AED has received much less attention. Meanwhile state-of-the-art AED models are based on large deep models, which are computational demanding and challenging to deploy on devices with constrained computational resources. In this paper, we present a simple yet effective compression approach which jointly leverages knowledge distillation and quantization to compress larger network (teacher model) into compact network (student model). Experimental results show proposed technique not only lowers error rate of original compact network by 15% through distillation but also further reduces its model size to a large extent (2% of teacher, 12% of full-precision student) through quantization.
