• Abstract: This paper presents a context-aware framework for feature selection and classification procedures to realize a fast and accurate audio event annotation and classification. The context-aware design starts with exploring feature extraction techniques to find an appropriate combination to select a set resulting in remarkable classification accuracy with minimal computational effort. The exploration for feature selection also embraces an investigation of audio Tempo representation, an advantageous feature extraction method missed by previous works in the environmental audio classification research scope. The proposed annotation method considers outlier, inlier, and hard-to-predict data samples to realize context-aware Active Learning, leading to the average accuracy of 90% when only 15% of data possess initial annotation. Our proposed algorithm for sound classification obtained average prediction accuracy of 98.05% on the UrbanSound8K dataset.

  We propose a systemic framework that prioritizes informative features and examples to enhance each stage of the development process. We first propose an approach to extract only informative features that are inherent to solving a target task by using auxiliary out-of-distribution data. Next, we introduce an approach that prioritizes informative examples from unlabeled noisy data in order to reduce the labeling cost of active learning.

  This paper present a strong data mining method based on rough set, which can realize feature selection, classification and knowledge representation at the same time. We first find the ineffectiveness of rough set because of overfitting, especially in processing noise attribute, and propose a robust measurement for an attribute, called relative importance. Experimental results on public benchmark data sets show that the proposed framework achieves higher accurcy than seven popular or the state-of-the-art feature selection methods.

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.
