• Abstract summary: We propose a segment-level few-shot learning framework that utilizes both the positive and negative events during model optimization. Our system achieves an F-measure of 62.73 on the DCASE 2022 challenge task 5 (DCASE2022-T5) validation set, outperforming the performance of the baseline prototypical network 34.02 by a large margin.

• Abstract: Few-shot bioacoustic event detection is a task that detects the occurrence time of a novel sound given a few examples. Previous methods employ metric learning to build a latent space with the labeled part of different sound classes, also known as positive events. In this study, we propose a segment-level few-shot learning framework that utilizes both the positive and negative events during model optimization. Training with negative events, which are larger in volume than positive events, can increase the generalization ability of the model. In addition, we use transductive inference on the validation set during training for better adaptation to novel classes. We conduct ablation studies on our proposed method with different setups on input features, training data, and hyper-parameters. Our final system achieves an F-measure of 62.73 on the DCASE 2022 challenge task 5 (DCASE2022-T5) validation set, outperforming the performance of the baseline prototypical network 34.02 by a large margin. Using the proposed method, our submitted system ranks 2nd in DCASE2022-T5. The code of this paper is fully open-sourced at https://github.com/haoheliu/DCASE_2022_Task_5.

  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.
