Sound Event Detection

We propose using derivative features for sound event detection based on deep neural networks. As input to the networks, we used log-mel-filterbank and its first and second derivative features for each frame of the audio signal. Two deep neural networks were used to evaluate the effectiveness of these derivative features. Specifically, a convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN) was constructed by combining a convolutional neural network and a recurrent neural networks (RNN) followed by a feed-forward neural network (FNN) acting as a classification layer. In addition, a mean-teacher model based on an attention CRNN was used. Both models had an average pooling layer at the output so that weakly labeled and unlabeled audio data may be used during model training. Under the various training conditions, depending on the neural network architecture and training set, the use of derivative features resulted in a consistent performance improvement by using the derivative features. Experiments on audio data from the Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events 2018 and 2019 challenges indicated that a maximum relative improvement of 16.9% was obtained in terms of the F-score.

In this paper we present our system for thedetection and classi-fication of acoustic scenes and events (DCASE) 2020 ChallengeTask 4: Sound event detection and separation in domestic envi-ronments. We introduce two new models: the forward-backwardconvolutional recurrent neural network (FBCRNN) and the tag-conditioned convolutional neural network (CNN). The FBCRNNemploys two recurrent neural network (RNN) classifiers sharing thesame CNN for preprocessing. With one RNN processing a record-ing in forward direction and the other in backward direction, thetwo networks are trained to jointly predict audio tags, i.e., weak la-bels, at each time step within a recording, given that at each timestep they have jointly processed the whole recording. The pro-posed training encourages the classifiers to tag events as soon aspossible. Therefore, after training, the networks can be appliedto shorter audio segments of, e.g.,200 ms, allowing sound eventdetection (SED). Further, we propose a tag-conditioned CNN tocomplement SED. It is trained to predict strong labels while using(predicted) tags, i.e., weak labels, as additional input. For train-ing pseudo strong labels from a FBCRNN ensemble are used. Thepresented system scored the fourth and third place in the systemsand teams rankings, respectively. Subsequent improvements allowour system to even outperform the challenge baseline and winnersystems in average by, respectively,18.0 %and2.2 %event-basedF1-score on the validation set.

There exists significant demand for improved Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) turbulence models that are informed by and can represent a richer set of turbulence physics. This paper presents a method of using deep neural networks to learn a model for the Reynolds stress anisotropy tensor from high-fidelity simulation data. A novel neural network architecture is proposed which uses a multiplicative layer with an invariant tensor basis to embed Galilean invariance into the predicted anisotropy tensor. It is demonstrated that this neural network architecture provides improved prediction accuracy compared with a generic neural network architecture that does not embed this invariance property. The Reynolds stress anisotropy predictions of this invariant neural network are propagated through to the velocity field for two test cases. For both test cases, significant improvement versus baseline RANS linear eddy viscosity and nonlinear eddy viscosity models is demonstrated.

Pos Tagger

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have proven to be especially successful in the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagging—which is the process of mapping words to their corresponding POS labels depending on the context. Despite recent development of language technologies, low-resourced languages (such as an East African Tigrinya language), have received too little attention. We investigate the effectiveness of Deep Learning (DL) solutions for the low-resourced Tigrinya language of the Northern-Ethiopic branch. We have selected Tigrinya as the testbed example and have tested state-of-the-art DL approaches seeking to build the most accurate POS tagger. We have evaluated DNN classifiers (Feed Forward Neural Network – FFNN, Long Short-Term Memory method – LSTM, Bidirectional LSTM, and Convolutional Neural Network – CNN) on a top of neural word2vec word embeddings with a small training corpus known as Nagaoka Tigrinya Corpus. To determine the best DNN classifier type, its architecture and hyper-parameter set both manual and automatic hyper-parameter tuning has been performed. BiLSTM method was proved to be the most suitable for our solving task: it achieved the highest accuracy equal to 92% that is 65% above the random baseline.
