Sound Event Detection Using Spatial Features and Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network
This paper proposes to use low-level spatial features extracted from
multichannel audio for sound event detection. We extend the convolutional
recurrent neural network to handle more than one type of these multichannel
features by learning from each of them separately in the initial stages. We
show that instead of concatenating the features of each channel into a single
feature vector the network learns sound events in multichannel audio better
when they are presented as separate layers of a volume. Using the proposed
spatial features over monaural features on the same network gives an absolute
F-score improvement of 6.1% on the publicly available TUT-SED 2016 dataset and
2.7% on the TUT-SED 2009 dataset that is fifteen times larger.Comment: Accepted for IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and

Deep Learning for Audio Signal Processing
Given the recent surge in developments of deep learning, this article
provides a review of the state-of-the-art deep learning techniques for audio
signal processing. Speech, music, and environmental sound processing are
considered side-by-side, in order to point out similarities and differences
between the domains, highlighting general methods, problems, key references,
and potential for cross-fertilization between areas. The dominant feature
representations (in particular, log-mel spectra and raw waveform) and deep
learning models are reviewed, including convolutional neural networks, variants
of the long short-term memory architecture, as well as more audio-specific
neural network models. Subsequently, prominent deep learning application areas
are covered, i.e. audio recognition (automatic speech recognition, music
information retrieval, environmental sound detection, localization and
tracking) and synthesis and transformation (source separation, audio
enhancement, generative models for speech, sound, and music synthesis).
Finally, key issues and future questions regarding deep learning applied to
audio signal processing are identified.Comment: 15 pages, 2 pdf figure
