Detecting Acoustic Events Using Convolutional Macaron Net
share
In this paper, we propose to address the issue of the lack of strongly labeled data by using pseudo strongly labeled data that is approximated using Convolutive Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (CNMF). Using this pseudo strongly labeled data, we then train a new architecture combining Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with Macaron Net (MN), which we term it as Convolutional Macaron Net (CMN). As opposed to the Mean-Teacher approach which trains two similar models synchronously, we propose to train two different CMNs synchronously where one of the models will provide the frame-level prediction while the other will provide the clip level prediction. Based on our proposed framework, our system outperforms the baseline system of the Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events (DCASE) 2020 Challenge Task 4 by a margin of over 10 combination of CNN and Conformer, our system also marginally wins it by 0.3
