Audio event classification is an important task for several applications such as surveillance, audio, video and multimedia retrieval etc. There are approximately 340 million people with hearing loss who can’t perceive events happening around them. This paper establishes the CURE dataset which contains curated set of specific audio events most relevant for people with hearing loss. It is formatted as 5 sec sound recordings derived from the Freesound project. We propose a ladder network based…

DCASE 2018 Challenge baseline with convolutional neural networks
TLDR
Python implementation of DCASE 2018 has five tasks: 1) Acoustic scene classification, 2) General-purpose audio tagging, 3) Bird audio detection, 4) Weakly-labeled semi-supervised sound event detection and 5) Multi-channel audio tagging; the baseline source code contains the implementation of convolutional neural networks, including AlexNetish and VGGish -- networks originating from computer vision.
Audio Event Detection using Weakly Labeled Data
TLDR
It is shown that audio event detection using weak labels can be formulated as an Multiple Instance Learning problem and two frameworks for solving multiple-instance learning are suggested, one based on support vector machines, and the other on neural networks.
