Convolutional neural networks are widely adopted in Acoustic Scene Classification (ASC) tasks, but they generally carry a heavy computational burden. In this work, we propose a lightweight yet high-performing baseline network inspired by MobileNetV2, which replaces square convolutional kernels with unidirectional ones to extract features alternately in temporal and frequency dimensions. Furthermore, we explore a dynamic architecture space built on the basis of the proposed baseline with the recent Neural Architecture Search (NAS) paradigm, which first trains a supernet that incorporates all candidate networks and then applies a well-known evolutionary algorithm NSGA-II to discover more efficient networks with higher accuracy and lower computational cost. Experimental results demonstrate that our searched network is competent in ASC tasks, which achieves 90.3 5 evaluation set, marking a new state-of-the-art performance while saving 25 of FLOPs compared to our baseline network.
