Sound event detection via dilated convolutional recurrent neural networks
arXiv:1911.10888
Abstract
Convolutional recurrent neural networks (CRNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance for sound event detection (SED). In this paper, we propose to use a dilated CRNN, namely a CRNN with a dilated convolutional kernel, as the classifier for the task of SED. We investigate the effectiveness of dilation operations which provide a CRNN with expanded receptive fields to capture long temporal context without increasing the amount of CRNN's parameters. Compared to the classifier of the baseline CRNN, the classifier of the dilated CRNN obtains a maximum increase of 1.9%, 6.3% and 2.5% at F1 score and a maximum decrease of 1.7%, 4.1% and 3.9% at error rate (ER), on the publicly available audio corpora of the TUT-SED Synthetic 2016, the TUT Sound Event 2016 and the TUT Sound Event 2017, respectively.
