This report presents the dataset and baseline of Task 3 of the DCASE2021 Challenge on Sound Event Localization and Detection (SELD). The dataset is based on emulation of real recordings of static or moving sound events under real conditions of reverberation and ambient noise, using spatial room impulse responses captured in a variety of rooms and delivered in two spatial formats. The acoustical synthesis remains the same as in the previous iteration of the challenge, however the new dataset brings more challenging conditions of polyphony and overlapping instances of the same class. The most important difference of the new dataset is the introduction of directional interferers, meaning sound events that are localized in space but do not belong to the target classes to be detected and are not annotated. Since such interfering events are expected in every real-world scenario of SELD, the new dataset aims to promote systems that deal with this condition effectively. A modified SELDnet baseline employing the recent ACCDOA representation of SELD problems accompanies the dataset and it is shown to outperform the previous one. The new dataset is shown to be significantly more challenging for both baselines according to all considered metrics. To investigate the individual and combined effects of ambient noise, interferers, and reverberation, we study the performance of the baseline on differe

The ranking of sound event detection (SED) systems may be biased by assumptions inherent to evaluation criteria and to the choice of an operating point. This paper compares conventional event-based and segment-based criteria against the Polyphonic So und Detection Score (PSDS)s intersection-based criterion, over a selection of systems from DCASE 2020 Challenge Task 4. It shows that, by relying on collars , the conventional event-based criterion introduces different strictness levels depending on the length of the sound events, and that the segment-based criterion may lack precision and be application dependent. Alternatively, PSDSs intersection-based criterion overcomes the dependency of the evaluation on sound event duration and provides robustness to labelling subjectivity, by allowing valid detections of interrupted events. Furthermore, PSDS enhances the comparison of SED systems by measuring sound event modelling performance independently from the systems operating points.

Sound event detection is a core module for acoustic environmental analysis. Semi-supervised learning technique allows to largely scale up the dataset without increasing the annotation budget, and recently attracts lots of research attention. In this work, we study on two advanced semi-supervised learning techniques for sound event detection. Data augmentation is important for the success of recent deep learning systems. This work studies the audio-signal random augmentation method, which provides an augmentation strategy that can handle a large number of different audio transformations. In addition, consistency regularization is widely adopted in recent state-of-the-art semi-supervised learning methods, which exploits the unlabelled data by constraining the prediction of different transformations of one sample to be identical to the prediction of this sample. This work finds that, for semi-supervised sound event detection, consistency regularization is an effective strategy, especially the best performance is achieved when it is combined with the MeanTeacher model.

Training a sound event detection algorithm on a heterogeneous dataset including both recorded and synthetic soundscapes that can have various labeling granularity is a non-trivial task that can lead to systems requiring several technical choices. The se technical choices are often passed from one system to another without being questioned. We propose to perform a detailed analysis of DCASE 2020 task 4 sound event detection baseline with regards to several aspects such as the type of data used for training, the parameters of the mean-teacher or the transformations applied while generating the synthetic soundscapes. Some of the parameters that are usually used as default are shown to be sub-optimal.
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
The ability to automatically detect stuttering events in speech could help speech pathologists track an individuals fluency over time or help improve speech recognition systems for people with atypical speech patterns. Despite increasing interest in this area, existing public datasets are too small to build generalizable dysfluency detection systems and lack sufficient annotations. In this work, we introduce Stuttering Events in Podcasts (SEP-28k), a dataset containing over 28k clips labeled with five event types including blocks, prolongations, sound repetitions, word repetitions, and interjections. Audio comes from public podcasts largely consisting of people who stutter interviewing other people who stutter. We benchmark a set of acoustic models on SEP-28k and the public FluencyBank dataset and highlight how simply increasing the amount of training data improves relative detection performance by 28% and 24% F1 on each. Annotations from over 32k clips across both datasets will be publicly released.
