Open Set Audio Recognition for Multi-Class Classification With Rejection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Most supervised audio recognition systems developed to this point have used a testing set which includes the same categories as the training set database. Such systems are called closed-set recognition (CSR). However, audio recognition in real applications can be more complicated, where the datasets can be dynamic, and novel categories can ceaselessly be detected. Hence, in practice, the usual methods will assign to these novel classes labels which are often incorrect. This work aims to investigate audio open-set recognition (OSR) suitable for multi-classes classification recognition, with a rejection option for classes never seen by the system. A probabilistic calibration of a support vector machine classifier is utilized and formulated under the open-set scenario. For this, it is proposed to apply a threshold technique called peak side ratio (PSR) to the audio recognition task. A candidate label is first examined by a Platt-calibrated support vector machine (SVM) to produce posterior probabilities. The PSR is then used to characterize the distribution of posterior probabilities values. This process helps to determine a threshold in order to reject or accept a particular class. Our proposed method is evaluated on different variations of open sets, using well-known metrics. Experimental results reveal that our proposed method outperforms previous OSR approaches over a wide range of openness values.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
