Distributed multichannel acoustic sensing (DMAS) enables large-scale sound event classification (SEC), but performance drops when many channels are degraded and when sensor layouts at test time differ from training layouts. We propose a learning-free, physics-informed inpainting frontend based on re…
Recent advancements in unique acoustic sensing devices and large-scale audio recognition models have unlocked new possibilities for environmental sound monitoring and detection. However, applying pretrained models to non-conventional acoustic sensors results in performance degradation due to domain…
Deep neural network (DNN)-based models for environmental sound classification are not robust against a domain to which training data do not belong, that is, out-of-distribution or unseen data. To utilize pretrained models for the unseen domain, adaptation methods, such as finetuning and transfer lea…
Optical fiber sensing is a technology wherein audio, vibrations, and temperature are detected using an optical fiber; especially the audio/vibrations-aware sensing is called distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). In DAS, observed data, which is comprised of multichannel data, has suffered from severe n…
Some studies have revealed that contexts of scenes (e.g., "home," "office," and "cooking") are advantageous for sound event detection (SED). Mobile devices and sensing technologies give useful information on scenes for SED without the use of acoustic signals. However, conventional methods can employ…
In conventional sound event detection (SED) models, two types of events, namely, those that are present and those that do not occur in an acoustic scene, are regarded as the same type of the events. The conventional SED methods cannot effectively exploit the difference between the two types of event…
Sound event detection (SED) and acoustic scene classification (ASC) are major tasks in environmental sound analysis. Considering that sound events and scenes are closely related to each other, some works have addressed joint analyses of sound events and acoustic scenes based on multitask learning (M…
