Multimodal System for Audio Scene Source Counting and Analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Audio scene analysis (ASA) is a challenging and multifaceted task in audio signal processing that uncovers information about the nature of an audio recording. Regardless of the analysis goal, a number of audio sources are observed in any audio scene. However, this consideration is usually not explored or given considerable thought in research. This work aims to demonstrate the utility of audio source counting with a novel solution consisting of a multimodal system for ASA. Both speaker counting and sound event counting techniques use deep neural networks (DNN) to predict the number of sources. We are able to present competitive results for audio source counting by achieving prediction accuracy of 46.03% and 89.57% with a margin of error of$\pm 1$for speaker counting, which outperforms state-of-the-art systems for similar tasks. For sound event counting we achieve 50.55% and 86.59% prediction accuracy and accuracy with a margin of error of$\pm 1$, respectively, that establishes a clear baseline. Our system also demonstrates real-time aspects with an overall processing time of$\sim 0.4614$s per audio recording.

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.
