• Abstract: Acoustic scene classification is a process of characterizing and classifying the environments from sound recordings. The first step is to generate features (representations) from the recorded sound and then classify the background environments. However, different kinds of representations have dramatic effects on the accuracy of the classification. In this paper, we explored the three such representations on classification accuracy using neural networks. We investigated the spectrograms, MFCCs, and embeddings representations using different CNN networks and autoencoders. Our dataset consists of sounds from three settings of indoors and outdoors environments - thus the dataset contains sound from six different kinds of environments. We found that the spectrogram representation has the highest classification accuracy while MFCC has the lowest classification accuracy. We reported our findings, insights as well as some guidelines to achieve better accuracy for environment classification using sounds.

  This paper explores methodologies for automatically classifying heterogeneous sounds characterized by high intra-class variability. We construct a dataset through manual annotation to ensure accuracy, diverse representation within each class and relevance in real-world scenarios. Experimental results illustrate that audio embeddings encoding acoustic and semantic information achieve higher accuracy in the classification task.

  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.
