Audio classification is the task of identifying the sound categories that are associated with a given audio signal. This paper presents an investigation on large-scale audio classification based on the recently released AudioSet database.…
Recent image-to-audio models have shown impressive performance on object-centric visual scenes. However, their application to satellite imagery remains limited by the complex, wide-area semantic ambiguity of top-down views. While satellite…
A fundamental characteristic of audio is its compositional nature. Audio-language models (ALMs) trained using a contrastive approach (e.g., CLAP) that learns a shared representation between audio and language modalities have improved…
As the technology is advancing, audio recognition in machine learning is improved as well. Research in audio recognition has traditionally focused on speech. Living creatures (especially the small ones) are part of the whole ecosystem,…
Learning how objects sound from video is challenging, since they often heavily overlap in a single audio channel. Current methods for visually-guided audio source separation sidestep the issue by training with artificially mixed video…
Audio classification can distinguish different kinds of sounds, which is helpful for intelligent applications in daily life. However, it remains a challenging task since the sound events in an audio clip is probably multiple, even…
