• Abstract: Classical methods for acoustic scene mapping require the estimation of time difference of arrival (TDOA) between microphones. Unfortunately, TDOA estimation is very sensitive to reverberation and additive noise. We introduce an unsupervised data-driven approach that exploits the natural structure of the data. Our method builds upon local conformal autoencoders (LOCA) - an offline deep learning scheme for learning standardized data coordinates from measurements. Our experimental setup includes a microphone array that measures the transmitted sound source at multiple locations across the acoustic enclosure. We demonstrate that LOCA learns a representation that is isometric to the spatial locations of the microphones. The performance of our method is evaluated using a series of realistic simulations and compared with other dimensionality-reduction schemes. We further assess the influence of reverberation on the results of LOCA and show that it demonstrates considerable robustness.

We introduce ActiveRIR, a reinforcement learning policy that leverages information from audio-visual sensor streams to guide agent navigation and determine optimal acoustic data sampling positions.

  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.

  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.
