Knowledge Distillation (KD) is a popular area of research for reducing the size of large models while still maintaining good performance. The outputs of larger teacher models are used to guide the training of smaller student models. Given the repetitive nature of acoustic events, we propose to leverage this information to regulate the KD training for Audio Tagging. This novel KD method, Intra-Utterance Similarity Preserving KD (IUSP), shows promising results for the audio tagging task. It is motivated by the previously published KD method: Similarity Preserving KD (SP). However, instead of preserving the pairwise similarities between inputs within a mini-batch, our method preserves the pairwise similarities between the frames of a single input utterance. Our proposed KD method, IUSP, shows consistent improvements over SP across student models of different sizes on the DCASE 2019 Task 5 dataset for audio tagging. There is a 27.1% to 122.4% percent increase in improvement of micro AUPRC over the baseline relative to SPs improvement of over the baseline.

Knowledge distillation is a widely applicable technique for training a student neural network under the guidance of a trained teacher network. For example, in neural network compression, a high-capacity teacher is distilled to train a compact student
; in privileged learning, a teacher trained with privileged data is distilled to train a student without access to that data. The distillation loss determines how a teachers knowledge is captured and transferred to the student. In this paper, we propose a new form of knowledge distillation loss that is inspired by the observation that semantically similar inputs tend to elicit similar activation patterns in a trained network. Similarity-preserving knowledge distillation guides the training of a student network such that input pairs that produce similar (dissimilar) activations in the teacher network produce similar (dissimilar) activations in the student network. In contrast to previous distillation methods, the student is not required to mimic the representation space of the teacher, but rather to preserve the pairwise similarities in its own representation space. Experiments on three public datasets demonstrate the potential of our approach.
As an important component of multimedia analysis tasks, audio classification aims to discriminate between different audio signal types and has received intensive attention due to its wide applications. Generally speaking, the raw signal can be transf
ormed into various representations (such as Short Time Fourier Transform and Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients), and information implied in different representations can be complementary. Ensembling the models trained on different representations can greatly boost the classification performance, however, making inference using a large number of models is cumbersome and computationally expensive. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end collaborative learning framework for the audio classification task. The framework takes multiple representations as the input to train the models in parallel. The complementary information provided by different representations is shared by knowledge distillation. Consequently, the performance of each model can be significantly promoted without increasing the computational overhead in the inference stage. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can improve the classification performance and achieve state-of-the-art results on both acoustic scene classification tasks and general audio tagging tasks.
Weakly labelled audio tagging aims to predict the classes of sound events within an audio clip, where the onset and offset times of the sound events are not provided. Previous works have used the multiple instance learning (MIL) framework, and exploi
ted the information of the whole audio clip by MIL pooling functions. However, the detailed information of sound events such as their durations may not be considered under this framework. To address this issue, we propose a novel two-stream framework for audio tagging by exploiting the global and local information of sound events. The global stream aims to analyze the whole audio clip in order to capture the local clips that need to be attended using a class-wise selection module. These clips are then fed to the local stream to exploit the detailed information for a better decision. Experimental results on the AudioSet show that our proposed method can significantly improve the performance of audio tagging under different baseline network architectures.
Knowledge Distillation is an effective method of transferring knowledge from a large model to a smaller model. Distillation can be viewed as a type of model compression, and has played an important role for on-device ASR applications. In this paper,
we develop a distillation method for RNN-Transducer (RNN-T) models, a popular end-to-end neural network architecture for streaming speech recognition. Our proposed distillation loss is simple and efficient, and uses only the y and blank posterior probabilities from the RNN-T output probability lattice. We study the effectiveness of the proposed approach in improving the accuracy of sparse RNN-T models obtained by gradually pruning a larger uncompressed model, which also serves as the teacher during distillation. With distillation of 60% and 90% sparse multi-domain RNN-T models, we obtain WER reductions of 4.3% and 12.1% respectively, on a noisy FarField eval set. We also present results of experiments on LibriSpeech, where the introduction of the distillation loss yields a 4.8% relative WER reduction on the test-other dataset for a small Conformer model.
This paper proposes a network architecture mainly designed for audio tagging, which can also be used for weakly supervised acoustic event detection (AED). The proposed network consists of a modified DenseNet as the feature extractor, and a global ave
rage pooling (GAP) layer to predict frame-level labels at inference time. This architecture is inspired by the work proposed by Zhou et al., a well-known framework using GAP to localize visual objects given image-level labels. While most of the previous works on weakly supervised AED used recurrent layers with attention-based mechanism to localize acoustic events, the proposed network directly localizes events using the feature map extracted by DenseNet without any recurrent layers. In the audio tagging task of DCASE 2017, our method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art method in F1 score by 5.3% on the dev set, and 6.0% on the eval set in terms of absolute values. For weakly supervised AED task in DCASE 2018, our model outperforms the state-of-the-art method in event-based F1 by 8.1% on the dev set, and 0.5% on the eval set in terms of absolute values, by using data augmentation and tri-training to leverage unlabeled data.
