학위논문(박사)--서울대학교 대학원 :공과대학 전기·컴퓨터공학부,2020. 2. 김남수.Conventional audio event detection (AED) models are based on supervised approaches. For supervised approaches, strongly labeled data is required. However, collecting large-scale strongly labeled data of audio events is challenging due to the diversity of audio event types and labeling difficulties. In this thesis, we propose data-efficient and weakly supervised techniques for AED. In the first approach, a data-efficient AED system is proposed. In the proposed system, data augmentation is performed to deal with the data sparsity problem and generate polyphonic event examples. An exemplar-based noise reduction algorithm is proposed for feature enhancement. For polyphonic event detection, a multi-labeled deep neural network (DNN) classifier is employed. An adaptive thresholding algorithm is applied as a post-processing method for robust event detection in noisy conditions. From the experimental results, the proposed algorithm has shown promising performance for AED on a low-resource dataset. In the second approach, a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based audio tagging system is proposed. The proposed model consists of a local detector and a global classifier. The local detector detects local audio words that contain distinct characteristics of events, and the global classifier summarizes the information to predict audio events on the recording. From the experimental results, we have found that the proposed model outperforms conventional artificial neural network models. In the final approach, we propose a weakly supervised AED model. The proposed model takes advantage of strengthening feature propagation from DenseNet and modeling channel-wise relationships by SENet. Also, the correlations among segments in audio recordings are represented by a recurrent neural network (RNN) and conditional random field (CRF). RNN utilizes contextual information and CRF post-processing helps to refine segment-level predictions. We evaluate our proposed method and compare its performance with a CNN based baseline approach. From a number of experiments, it has been shown that the proposed method is effective both on audio tagging and weakly supervised AED.일반적인 음향 이벤트 탐지 시스템은 교사학습을 통해 훈련된다. 교사학습을 위해서는 강한 레이블 데이터가 요구된다. 하지만 강한 레이블 데이터는 음향 이벤트의 다양성 및 레이블의 난이도로 인해 큰 데이터베이스를 구축하기 어렵다는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 음향 이벤트 탐지를 위한 데이터 효율적 활용 및 약한 교사학습 기법에 대해 제안한다. 첫 번째 접근법으로서, 데이터 효율적인 음향 이벤트 탐지 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템에서는 데이터 증대 기법을 사용해 데이터 희소성 문제에 대응하고 중첩 이벤트 데이터를 생성하였다. 특징 벡터 향상을 위해 잡음 억제 기법이 사용되었고 중첩 음향 이벤트 탐지를 위해 다중 레이블 심층 인공신경망(DNN) 분류기가 사용되었다. 실험 결과, 제안된 알고리즘은 불충분한 데이터에서도 우수한 음향 이벤트 탐지 성능을 나타내었다. 두 번째 접근법으로서, 컨볼루션 신경망(CNN) 기반 오디오 태깅 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 모델은 로컬 검출기와 글로벌 분류기로 구성된다. 로컬 검출기는 고유한 음향 이벤트 특성을 포함하는 로컬 오디오 단어를 감지하고 글로벌 분류기는 탐지된 정보를 요약하여 오디오 이벤트를 예측한다. 실험 결과, 제안된 모델이 기존 인공신경망 기법보다 우수한 성능을 나타내었다. 마지막 접근법으로서, 약한 교사학습 음향 이벤트 탐지 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 모델은 DenseNet의 구조를 활용하여 정보의 원활한 흐름을 가능하게 하고 SENet을 활용해 채널간의 상관관계를 모델링 한다. 또한, 오디오 신호에서 부분 간의 상관관계 정보를 재순환 신경망(RNN) 및 조건부 무작위 필드(CRF)를 사용해 활용하였다. 여러 실험을 통해 제안된 모델이 기존 CNN 기반 기법보다 오디오 태깅 및 음향 이벤트 탐지 모두에서 더 나은 성능을 나타냄을 보였다.1 Introduction 1 2 Audio Event Detection 5 2.1 Data-Ecient Audio Event Detection 6 2.2 Audio Tagging 7 2.3 Weakly Supervised Audio Event Detection 9 2.4 Metrics 10 3 Data-Ecient Techniques for Audio Event Detection 17 3.1 Introduction 17 3.2 DNN-Based AED system 18 3.2.1 Data Augmentation 20 3.2.2 Exemplar-Based Approach for Noise Reduction 21 3.2.3 DNN Classier 22 3.2.4 Post-Processing 23 3.3 Experiments 24 3.4 Summary 27 4 Audio Tagging using Local Detector and Global Classier 29 4.1 Introduction 29 4.2 CNN-Based Audio Tagging Model 31 4.2.1 Local Detector and Global Classier 32 4.2.2 Temporal Localization of Events 34 4.3 Experiments 34 4.3.1 Dataset and Feature 34 4.3.2 Model Training 35 4.3.3 Results 36 4.4 Summary 39 5 Deep Convolutional Neural Network with Structured Prediction for Weakly Supervised Audio Event Detection 41 5.1 Introduction 41 5.2 CNN with Structured Prediction for Weakly Supervised AED 46 5.2.1 DenseNet 47 5.2.2 Squeeze-and-Excitation 48 5.2.3 Global Pooling for Aggregation 49 5.2.4 Structured Prediction for Accurate Event Localization 50 5.3 Experiments 53 5.3.1 Dataset 53 5.3.2 Feature Extraction 54 5.3.3 DSNet and DSNet-RNN Structures 54 5.3.4 Baseline CNN Structure 56 5.3.5 Training and Evaluation 57 5.3.6 Metrics 57 5.3.7 Results and Discussion 58 5.3.8 Comparison with the DCASE 2017 task 4 Results 61 5.4 Summary 62 6 Conclusions 65 Bibliography 67 요 약 77 감사의 글 79Docto

Joint Detection and Classification Convolutional Neural Network on Weakly Labelled Bird Audio Detection

Bird audio detection (BAD) aims to detect whether there is a bird call in an audio recording or not. One difficulty of this task is that the bird sound datasets are weakly labelled, that is only the presence or absence of a bird in a recording is known, without knowing when the birds call. We propose to apply joint detection and classification (JDC) model on the weakly labelled data (WLD) to detect and classify an audio clip at the same time. First, we apply VGG like convolutional neural network (CNN) on mel spectrogram as baseline. Then we propose a JDC-CNN model with VGG as a classifier and CNN as a detector. We report the denoising method including optimally-modified log-spectral amplitude (OM-LSA), median filter and spectral spectrogram will worse the classification accuracy on the contrary to previous work. JDC-CNN can predict the time stamps of the events from weakly labelled data, so is able to do sound event detection from WLD. We obtained area under curve (AUC) of 95.70% on the development data and 81.36% on the unseen evaluation data, which is nearly comparable to the baseline CNN model

Classification of Animal Sound Using Convolutional Neural Network

Recently, labeling of acoustic events has emerged as an active topic covering a wide range of applications. High-level semantic inference can be conducted based on main audioeffects to facilitate various content-based applications for analysis, efficient recovery and content management. This paper proposes a flexible Convolutional neural network-based framework for animal audio classification. The work takes inspiration from various deep neural network developed for multimedia classification recently. The model is driven by the ideology of identifying the animal sound in the audio file by forcing the network to pay attention to core audio effect present in the audio to generate Mel-spectrogram. The designed framework achieves an accuracy of 98% while classifying the animal audio on weekly labelled datasets. The state-of-the-art in this research is to build a framework which could even run on the basic machine and do not necessarily require high end devices to run the classification

They are Not Equally Reliable: Semantic Event Search Using Differentiated Concept Classifiers

© 2016 IEEE. Complex event detection on unconstrained Internet videos has seen much progress in recent years. However, state-of-the-art performance degrades dramatically when the number of positive training exemplars falls short. Since label acquisition is costly, laborious, and time-consuming, there is a real need to consider the much more challenging semantic event search problem, where no example video is given. In this paper, we present a state-of-the-art event search system without any example videos. Relying on the key observation that events (e.g. dog show) are usually compositions of multiple mid-level concepts (e.g. 'dog,' 'theater,' and 'dog jumping'), we first train a skip-gram model to measure the relevance of each concept with the event of interest. The relevant concept classifiers then cast votes on the test videos but their reliability, due to lack of labeled training videos, has been largely unaddressed. We propose to combine the concept classifiers based on a principled estimate of their accuracy on the unlabeled test videos. A novel warping technique is proposed to improve the performance and an efficient highly-scalable algorithm is provided to quickly solve the resulting optimization. We conduct extensive experiments on the latest TRECVID MEDTest 2014, MEDTest 2013 and CCV datasets, and achieve state-of-the-art performances
