Abstract

This paper deals with the acoustic event detection (AED) to improve the detection accuracy of acoustic events. Acoustic event detection task is performed by a regression via classification (RvC) based approach along with the random forest technique. A discretization process is used to convert the continuous frame positions within acoustic events into event duration class labels. Outputs of the category-specific random forest classifiers are then reversed back to the event boundary information. Evaluations on the UPC-TALP database which consists of highly variable acoustic events demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approaches with improvements in detection error rate compared to the best baseline system.
