We present an architecture that is effective for continual learning in an especially demanding setting, where task boundaries do not exist or are unknown, and where classes have to be learned online (with each example presented only once).…

This paper introduces briefly the history and growth of the Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events (DCASE) challenge, workshop, research area and research community. Created in 2013 as a data evaluation challenge, DCASE…

Ensemble methods can deliver surprising performance gains but also bring significantly higher computational costs, e.g., can be up to 2048X in large-scale ensemble tasks. However, we found that the majority of computations in ensemble…

There are two sub-tasks implied in the weakly-supervised SED: audio tagging and event boundary detection. Current methods which combine multi-task learning with SED requires annotations both for these two sub-tasks. Since there are only…

Scene understanding includes many related sub-tasks, such as scene categorization, depth estimation, object detection, etc. Each of these sub-tasks is often notoriously hard, and state-of-the-art classifiers already exist for many of them.…
