Semi-supervsied Learning-based Sound Event Detection using Freuqency Dynamic Convolution with Large Kernel Attention for DCASE Challenge 2023 Task 4
share
This report proposes a frequency dynamic convolution (FDY) with a large kernel attention (LKA)-convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN) with a pre-trained bidirectional encoder representation from audio transformers (BEATs) embedding-based sound event detection (SED) model that employs a mean-teacher and pseudo-label approach to address the challenge of limited labeled data for DCASE 2023 Task 4. The proposed FDY with LKA integrates the FDY and LKA module to effectively capture time-frequency patterns, long-term dependencies, and high-level semantic information in audio signals. The proposed FDY with LKA-CRNN with a BEATs embedding network is initially trained on the entire DCASE 2023 Task 4 dataset using the mean-teacher approach, generating pseudo-labels for weakly labeled, unlabeled, and the AudioSet. Subsequently, the proposed SED model is retrained using the same pseudo-label approach. A subset of these models is selected for submission, demonstrating superior F1-scores and polyphonic SED score performance on the DCASE 2023 Challenge Task 4 validation dataset.
