Acoustic scene classification identifies an input segment into one of the pre-defined classes using spectral information. The spectral information of acoustic scenes may not be mutually exclusive due to common acoustic properties across different classes, such as babble noises included in both airports and shopping malls. However, conventional training procedure based on one-hot labels does not consider the similarities between different acoustic scenes. We exploit teacher-student learning with the purpose to derive soft-labels that consider common acoustic properties among different acoustic scenes. In teacher-student learning, the teacher network produces soft-labels, based on which the student network is trained. We investigate various methods to extract soft-labels that better represent similarities across different scenes. Such attempts include extracting soft-labels from multiple audio segments that are defined as an identical acoustic scene. Experimental results demonstrate the potential of our approach, showing a classification accuracy of 77.36 % on the DCASE 2018 task 1 validation set.

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 %.
In acoustic scene classification (ASC), acoustic features play a crucial role in the extraction of scene information, which can be stored over different time scales. Moreover, the limited size of the dataset may lead to a biased model with a poor per formance for records from unseen cities and confusing scene classes. In order to overcome this, we propose a long-term wavelet feature that requires a lower storage capacity and can be classified faster and more accurately compared with classic Mel filter bank coefficients (FBank). This feature can be extracted with predefined wavelet scales similar to the FBank. Furthermore, a novel data augmentation scheme based on generative adversarial neural networks with auxiliary classifiers (ACGANs) is adopted to improve the generalization of the ASC systems. The scheme, which contains ACGANs and a sample filter, extends the database iteratively by splitting the dataset, training the ACGANs and subsequently filtering samples. Experiments were conducted on datasets from the Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events (DCASE) challenges. The results on the DCASE19 dataset demonstrate the improved performance of the proposed techniques compared with the classic FBank classifier. Moreover, the proposed fusion system achieved first place in the DCASE19 competition and surpassed the top accuracies on the DCASE17 dataset.
In this paper, we present SpecAugment++, a novel data augmentation method for deep neural networks based acoustic scene classification (ASC). Different from other popular data augmentation methods such as SpecAugment and mixup that only work on the i nput space, SpecAugment++ is applied to both the input space and the hidden space of the deep neural networks to enhance the input and the intermediate feature representations. For an intermediate hidden state, the augmentation techniques consist of masking blocks of frequency channels and masking blocks of time frames, which improve generalization by enabling a model to attend not only to the most discriminative parts of the feature, but also the entire parts. Apart from using zeros for masking, we also examine two approaches for masking based on the use of other samples within the minibatch, which helps introduce noises to the networks to make them more discriminative for classification. The experimental results on the DCASE 2018 Task1 dataset and DCASE 2019 Task1 dataset show that our proposed method can obtain 3.6% and 4.7% accuracy gains over a strong baseline without augmentation (i.e. CP-ResNet) respectively, and outperforms other previous data augmentation methods.
In this paper, the Brno University of Technology (BUT) team submissions for Task 1 (Acoustic Scene Classification, ASC) of the DCASE-2018 challenge are described. Also, the analysis of different methods on the leaderboard set is provided. The propose d approach is a fusion of two different Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) topologies. The first one is the common two-dimensional CNNs which is mainly used in image classification. The second one is a one-dimensional CNN for extracting fixed-length audio segment embeddings, so called x-vectors, which has also been used in speech processing, especially for speaker recognition. In addition to the different topologies, two types of features were tested: log mel-spectrogram and CQT features. Finally, the outputs of different systems are fused using a simple output averaging in the best performing system. Our submissions ranked third among 24 teams in the ASC sub-task A (task1a).
The understanding and interpretation of speech can be affected by various external factors. The use of face masks is one such factors that can create obstruction to speech while communicating. This may lead to degradation of speech processing and aff ect humans perceptually. Knowing whether a speaker wears a mask may be useful for modeling speech for different applications. With this motivation, finding whether a speaker wears face mask from a given speech is included as a task in Computational Paralinguistics Evaluation (ComParE) 2020. We study novel acoustic features based on linear filterbanks, instantaneous phase and long-term information that can capture the artifacts for classification of speech with and without face mask. These acoustic features are used along with the state-of-the-art baselines of ComParE functionals, bag-of-audio-words, DeepSpectrum and auDeep features for ComParE 2020. The studies reveal the effectiveness of acoustic features, and their score level fusion with the ComParE 2020 baselines leads to an unweighted average recall of 73.50% on the test set.
