We propose a simple but efficient method termed Guided Learning for weakly-labeled semi-supervised sound event detection (SED). There are two sub-targets implied in weakly-labeled SED: audio tagging and boundary detection. Instead of designing a single model by considering a trade-off between the two sub-targets, we design a teacher model aiming at audio tagging to guide a student model aiming at boundary detection to learn using the unlabeled data. The guidance is guaranteed by the audio tagging performance gap of the two models. In the meantime, the student model liberated from the trade-off is able to provide more excellent boundary detection results. We propose a principle to design such two models based on the relation between the temporal compression scale and the two sub-targets. We also propose an end-to-end semi-supervised learning process for these two models to enable their abilities to rise alternately. Experiments on the DCASE2018 Task4 dataset show that our approach achieves competitive performance.

This paper presents DCASE 2018 task 4. The task evaluates systems for the large-scale detection of sound events using weakly labeled data (without time boundaries). The target of the systems is to provide not only the event class but also the event t ime boundaries given that multiple events can be present in an audio recording. Another challenge of the task is to explore the possibility to exploit a large amount of unbalanced and unlabeled training data together with a small weakly labeled training set to improve system performance. The data are Youtube video excerpts from domestic context which have many applications such as ambient assisted living. The domain was chosen due to the scientific challenges (wide variety of sounds, time-localized events.. .) and potential industrial applications .
The weakly supervised sound event detection problem is the task of predicting the presence of sound events and their corresponding starting and ending points in a weakly labeled dataset. A weak dataset associates each training sample (a short recordi ng) to one or more present sources. Networks that solely rely on convolutional and recurrent layers cannot directly relate multiple frames in a recording. Motivated by attention and graph neural networks, we introduce the concept of an affinity mixup to incorporate time-level similarities and make a connection between frames. This regularization technique mixes up features in different layers using an adaptive affinity matrix. Our proposed affinity mixup network improves over state-of-the-art techniques event-F1 scores by $8.2%$.

Task 4 of the DCASE2018 challenge demonstrated that substantially more research is needed for a real-world application of sound event detection. Analyzing the challenge results it can be seen that most successful models are biased towards predicting long (e.g., over 5s) clips. This work aims to investigate the performance impact of fixed-sized window median filter post-processing and advocate the use of double thresholding as a more robust and predictable post-processing method. Further, four different temporal subsampling methods within the CRNN framework are proposed: mean-max, alpha-mean-max, Lp-norm and convolutional. We show that for this task subsampling the temporal resolution by a neural network enhances the F1 score as well as its robustness towards short, sporadic sound events. Our best single model achieves 30.1% F1 on the evaluation set and the best fusion model 32.5%, while being robust to event length variations.
In recent years, the involvement of synthetic strongly labeled data,weakly labeled data and unlabeled data has drawn much research attentionin semi-supervised sound event detection (SSED). Self-training models carry out predictions without strong ann otations and then take predictions with high probabilities as pseudo-labels for retraining. Such models have shown its effectiveness in SSED. However, probabilities are poorly calibrated confidence estimates, and samples with low probabilities are ignored. Hence, we introduce a method of learning confidence deliberately and retaining all data distinctly by applying confidence as weights. Additionally, linear pooling has been considered as a state-of-the-art aggregation function for SSED with weak labeling. In this paper, we propose a power pooling function whose coefficient can be trained automatically to achieve nonlinearity. A confidencebased semi-supervised sound event detection (C-SSED) framework is designed to combine confidence and power pooling. The experimental results demonstrate that confidence is proportional to the accuracy of the predictions. The power pooling function outperforms linear pooling at both error rate and F1 results. In addition, the C-SSED framework achieves a relative error rate reduction of 34% in contrast to the baseline model.
While multitask and transfer learning has shown to improve the performance of neural networks in limited data settings, they require pretraining of the model on large datasets beforehand. In this paper, we focus on improving the performance of weakly supervised sound event detection in low data and noisy settings simultaneously without requiring any pretraining task. To that extent, we propose a shared encoder architecture with sound event detection as a primary task and an additional secondary decoder for a self-supervised auxiliary task. We empirically evaluate the proposed framework for weakly supervised sound event detection on a remix dataset of the DCASE 2019 task 1 acoustic scene data with DCASE 2018 Task 2 sounds event data under 0, 10 and 20 dB SNR. To ensure we retain the localisation information of multiple sound events, we propose a two-step attention pooling mechanism that provides a time-frequency localisation of multiple audio events in the clip. The proposed framework with two-step attention outperforms existing benchmark models by 22.3%, 12.8%, 5.9% on 0, 10 and 20 dB SNR respectively. We carry out an ablation study to determine the contribution of the auxiliary task and two-step attention pooling to the SED performance improvement.
