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 exploited 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.

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.
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 repetit ive 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.

With the development of deep learning and artificial intelligence, audio synthesis has a pivotal role in the area of machine learning and shows strong applicability in the industry. Meanwhile, significant efforts have been dedicated by researchers to handle multimodal tasks at present such as audio-visual multimodal processing. In this paper, we conduct a survey on audio synthesis and audio-visual multimodal processing, which helps understand current research and future trends. This review focuses on text to speech(TTS), music generation and some tasks that combine visual and acoustic information. The corresponding technical methods are comprehensively classified and introduced, and their future development trends are prospected. This survey can provide some guidance for researchers who are interested in the areas like audio synthesis and audio-visual multimodal processing.
Many name tagging approaches use local contextual information with much success, but fail when the local context is ambiguous or limited. We present a new framework to improve name tagging by utilizing local, document-level, and corpus-level contextu al information. We retrieve document-level context from other sentences within the same document and corpus-level context from sentences in other topically related documents. We propose a model that learns to incorporate document-level and corpus-level contextual information alongside local contextual information via global attentions, which dynamically weight their respective contextual information, and gating mechanisms, which determine the influence of this information. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets show the effectiveness of our approach, which achieves state-of-the-art results for Dutch, German, and Spanish on the CoNLL-2002 and CoNLL-2003 datasets.
Acoustic scene classification systems using deep neural networks classify given recordings into pre-defined classes. In this study, we propose a novel scheme for acoustic scene classification which adopts an audio tagging system inspired by the human perception mechanism. When humans identify an acoustic scene, the existence of different sound events provides discriminative information which affects the judgement. The proposed framework mimics this mechanism using various approaches. Firstly, we employ three methods to concatenate tag vectors extracted using an audio tagging system with an intermediate hidden layer of an acoustic scene classification system. We also explore the multi-head attention on the feature map of an acoustic scene classification system using tag vectors. Experiments conducted on the detection and classification of acoustic scenes and events 2019 task 1-a dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Concatenation and multi-head attention show a classification accuracy of 75.66 % and 75.58 %, respectively, compared to 73.63 % accuracy of the baseline. The system with the proposed two approaches combined demonstrates an accuracy of 76.75 %.
