• Abstract summary: This paper proposes a Transformer-encoder-based model for audio classification using MFCCs. The model was benchmarked against the ESC-50, Speech Commands v0.02 and UrbanSound8k datasets and has shown strong performance. The model consisted of a mere 127,544 total parameters, making it light-weight yet highly efficient at the audio classification task.

• Abstract: Audio classification is vital in areas such as speech and music recognition. Feature extraction from the audio signal, such as Mel-Spectrograms and MFCCs, is a critical step in audio classification. These features are transformed into spectrograms for classification. Researchers have explored various techniques, including traditional machine and deep learning methods to classify spectrograms, but these can be computationally expensive. To simplify this process, a more straightforward approach inspired by sequence classification in NLP can be used. This paper proposes a Transformer-encoder-based model for audio classification using MFCCs. The model was benchmarked against the ESC-50, Speech Commands v0.02 and UrbanSound8k datasets and has shown strong performance, with the highest accuracy of 95.2% obtained upon training the model on the UrbanSound8k dataset. The model consisted of a mere 127,544 total parameters, making it light-weight yet highly efficient at the audio classification task.

  We construct a dataset containing audio samples from music covers on YouTube along with the audio of the original song, and sentiment scores derived from user comments. Our approach involves extensive pre-processing, segmenting audio signals into 30-second windows, and extracting high-dimensional feature representations. We train regression models to predict sentiment scores on a 0-100 scale, achieving root mean square error (RMSE) values of 3.420, 5.482, 2.783, and 4.212, respectively.

In this paper, we propose a new methodology : Two-Level Classification; the Level 1 will be responsible to classify the audio signal into a broader class and the Level 2s will be responsible to find the actual class to which the audio belongs. We have also shown the effects of different audio filters, among which a new method of Audio Crop is introduced in this paper, which gave the highest accu

In the first iteration, we use random projection as the acoustic tokenizer to train an audio SSL model in a mask and label prediction manner. Then, we train an acoustic tokenizer for the next iteration by distilling the semantic knowledge from the pre-trained or fine-tuned audio SSL model.
