Misrecognition or Abstraction? Rethinking Outputs of Sound Event Recognition

Naoya Tomida, Yuki Okamoto, Keisuke Imoto

Conventional general sound recognition systems typically output deterministic sound event labels, implicitly assuming that the target sound class can be correctly identified from t…

Environmental sound synthesis from vocal imitations and sound event labels

Yuki Okamoto, Keisuke Imoto, Shinnosuke Takamichi +3

One way of expressing an environmental sound is using vocal imitations, which involve the process of replicating or mimicking the rhythm and pitch of sounds by voice. We can effect…

Foley Sound Synthesis at the DCASE 2023 Challenge

Keunwoo Choi, Jaekwon Im, Laurie Heller +5

The addition of Foley sound effects during post-production is a common technique used to enhance the perceived acoustic properties of multimedia content. Traditionally, Foley sound…

Visual onoma-to-wave: environmental sound synthesis from visual onomatopoeias and sound-source images

Hien Ohnaka, Shinnosuke Takamichi, Keisuke Imoto +3

We propose a method for synthesizing environmental sounds from visually represented onomatopoeias and sound sources. An onomatopoeia is a word that imitates a sound structure, i.e.…

How Should We Evaluate Synthesized Environmental Sounds

Yuki Okamoto, Keisuke Imoto, Shinnosuke Takamichi +2

Although several methods of environmental sound synthesis have been proposed, there has been no discussion on how synthesized environmental sounds should be evaluated. Only either…

Environmental Sound Extraction Using Onomatopoeic Words

Yuki Okamoto, Shota Horiguchi, Masaaki Yamamoto +2

An onomatopoeic word, which is a character sequence that phonetically imitates a sound, is effective in expressing characteristics of sound such as duration, pitch, and timbre. We…

Sound Event Detection Guided by Semantic Contexts of Scenes

Noriyuki Tonami, Keisuke Imoto, Ryotaro Nagase +3

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…

Sound Event Detection Based on Curriculum Learning Considering Learning Difficulty of Events

Noriyuki Tonami, Keisuke Imoto, Yuki Okamoto +2

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 t…
