Sound Event Detection in the DCASE 2017 Challenge
TLDR
Analysis of the systems behavior reveals that task-specific optimization has a big role in producing good performance; however, often this optimization closely follows the ranking metric, and its maximization/minimization does not result in universally good performance.

Adaptive Distance-Based Pooling in Convolutional Neural Networks for Audio Event Classification
TLDR
A new type of pooling layer is proposed aimed at compensating non-relevant information of audio events by applying an adaptive transformation of the convolutional feature maps in the temporal axis that follows a uniform distance subsampling criterion on the learned feature space.
