Beyond task performance: Decoding bioacoustic embeddings with speech features
Ines Nolasco, Jules Cauzinille, Marius Miron +8
Pretrained audio embeddings are standard in bioacoustics, yet little is known about which acoustic features these models encode, nor which are useful for a given task. This hinders…
Multi-layer attentive probing improves transfer of audio representations for bioacoustics
Marius Miron, David Robinson, Masato Hagiwara +15
Probing heads map the representations learned from audio by a machine learning model to downstream task labels and are a key component in evaluating representation learning. Most b…
An Entropy-Guided Curriculum Learning Strategy for Data-Efficient Acoustic Scene Classification under Domain Shift
Peihong Zhang, Yuxuan Liu, Zhixin Li +4
Acoustic Scene Classification (ASC) faces challenges in generalizing across recording devices, particularly when labeled data is limited. The DCASE 2024 Challenge Task 1 highlights…
Crossing the Species Divide: Transfer Learning from Speech to Animal Sounds
Jules Cauzinille, Marius Miron, Olivier Pietquin +4
Self-supervised speech models have demonstrated impressive performance in speech processing, but their effectiveness on non-speech data remains underexplored. We study the transfer…
