• Abstract summary: State of the art sound event retrieval models have focused on single-label audio recordings. We propose different Deep Learning architectures with a Siamese-structure and a Pairwise Presence Matrix. The networks are trained and evaluated using the SONYC-UST dataset containing both single- and multi-label soundscape recordings.

• Abstract: Realistic recordings of soundscapes often have multiple sound events co-occurring, such as car horns, engine and human voices. Sound event retrieval is a type of content-based search aiming at finding audio samples, similar to an audio query based on their acoustic or semantic content. State of the art sound event retrieval models have focused on single-label audio recordings, with only one sound event occurring, rather than on multi-label audio recordings (i.e., multiple sound events occur in one recording). To address this latter problem, we propose different Deep Learning architectures with a Siamese-structure and a Pairwise Presence Matrix. The networks are trained and evaluated using the SONYC-UST dataset containing both single- and multi-label soundscape recordings. The performance results show the effectiveness of our proposed model.

  Acoustic matching aims to re-synthesize an audio clip to sound as if it were recorded in a target acoustic environment. We propose a self-supervised approach to visual acoustic matching where training samples include only the target scene image and audio. Our approach jointly learns to disentangle room acoustics and re-synthesize audio into the target environment, via a conditional GAN framework and a novel metric.

  Sound event detection (SED) and Acoustic scene classification (ASC) are two widely researched audio tasks that constitute an important part of research on acoustic scene analysis. Considering shared information between sound events and acoustic scenes, performing both tasks jointly is a natural part of a complex machine listening system. In this paper, we investigate the usefulness of several spatial audio features in training a joint deep neural network (DNN) model performing SED and ASC.

  We introduce the visual acoustic matching task, in which an audio clip is transformed to sound like it was recorded in a target environment. Given an image of the target environment and a waveform for the source audio, the goal is to re-synthesize the audio to match the target room acoustics as suggested by its visible geometry and materials.
