Multi-dimensional frequency dynamic convolution with confident mean teacher for sound event detection
share
Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used in sound event detection (SED). However, traditional convolution is deficient in learning time-frequency domain representation of different sound events. To address this issue, we propose multi-dimensional frequency dynamic convolution (MFDConv), a new design that endows convolutional kernels with frequency-adaptive dynamic properties along multiple dimensions. MFDConv utilizes a novel multi-dimensional attention mechanism with a parallel strategy to learn complementary frequency-adaptive attentions, which substantially strengthen the feature extraction ability of convolutional kernels. Moreover, in order to promote the performance of mean teacher, we propose the confident mean teacher to increase the accuracy of pseudo-labels from the teacher and train the student with high confidence labels. Experimental results show that the proposed methods achieve 0.470 and 0.692 of PSDS1 and PSDS2 on the DESED real validation dataset.
