Frame Pairwise Distance Loss for Weakly-supervised Sound Event Detection
share
Weakly-supervised learning has emerged as a promising approach to leverage limited labeled data in various domains by bridging the gap between fully supervised methods and unsupervised techniques. Acquisition of strong annotations for detecting sound events is prohibitively expensive, making weakly supervised learning a more cost-effective and broadly applicable alternative. In order to enhance the recognition rate of the learning of detection of weakly-supervised sound events, we introduce a Frame Pairwise Distance (FPD) loss branch, complemented with a minimal amount of synthesized data. The corresponding sampling and label processing strategies are also proposed. Two distinct distance metrics are employed to evaluate the proposed approach. Finally, the method is validated on the standard DCASE dataset. The obtained experimental results corroborated the efficacy of this approach.
