• Abstract summary: This paper proposes a semi-supervised method for generating pseudo-labels from unsupervised data using a student-teacher scheme that balances self-training and cross-training. The results of these methods on both "validation" and "public evaluation" sets of DESED database show significant improvement compared to the state-of-the art systems in semi-supervised learning.

• Abstract: Sound event detection is an important facet of audio tagging that aims to identify sounds of interest and define both the sound category and time boundaries for each sound event in a continuous recording. With advances in deep neural networks, there has been tremendous improvement in the performance of sound event detection systems, although at the expense of costly data collection and labeling efforts. In fact, current state-of-the-art methods employ supervised training methods that leverage large amounts of data samples and corresponding labels in order to facilitate identification of sound category and time stamps of events. As an alternative, the current study proposes a semi-supervised method for generating pseudo-labels from unsupervised data using a student-teacher scheme that balances self-training and cross-training. Additionally, this paper explores post-processing which extracts sound intervals from network prediction, for further improvement in sound event detection performance. The proposed approach is evaluated on sound event detection task for the DCASE2020 challenge. The results of these methods on both "validation" and "public evaluation" sets of DESED database show significant improvement compared to the state-of-the art systems in semi-supervised learning.

  We introduce the Open-Vocabulary Audio-Visual Event localization problem. This problem requires localizing audio-visual events and predicting explicit categories for both seen and unseen data at inference. We propose the OV-AVEBench dataset, comprising 24,800 videos across 67 real-life audio-visual scenes.

  In bioacoustic applications, most tasks come with few labelled training data, because annotating long recordings is time consuming and costly. We show that learning a rich feature extractor from scratch can be achieved by leveraging data augmentation using a supervised contrastive learning framework. We obtain an F-score of 63.46% on the validation set and 42.7% on the test set, ranking second in the DCASE challenge.

  SoundDet is an end-to-end trainable and light-weight framework for polyphonic moving sound event detection and localization. SoundDet directly consumes the raw, multichannel waveform and treats the temporal sound event as a complete sound-object" to be detected. A dense sound proposal event map is then constructed to handle the challenges of predicting events with large varying temporal duration.

  Machine learning algorithms can be negatively affected by mismatches between training (source) and test (target) data distributions. We propose an unsupervised domain adaptation method that consists of aligning the first- and second-order sample statistics of each frequency band of target-domain acoustic scenes to the ones of the source-domain training dataset. We show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art unsupervised methods found in the literature in terms of both source- and target-domain classification accuracy.
