Adaptive Knowledge Distillation using a Device-Aware Teacher for Low-Complexity Acoustic Scene Classification

2025-09-11 · Seung Gyu Jeong, Seong Eun Kim arxiv

In this technical report, we describe our submission for Task 1, Low-Complexity Device-Robust Acoustic Scene Classification, of the DCASE 2025 Challenge. Our work tackles the dual challenges of strict complexity constraints and robust generalization to both seen and unseen devices, while also leveraging the new rule allowing the use of device labels at test time. Our proposed system is based on a knowledge distillation framework where an efficient CP-MobileNet student learns from a compact, specialized two-teacher ensemble. This ensemble combines a baseline PaSST teacher, trained with standard cross-entropy, and a 'generalization expert' teacher. This expert is trained using our novel Device-Aware Feature Alignment (DAFA) loss, adapted from prior work, which explicitly structures the feature space for device robustness. To capitalize on the availability of test-time device labels, the distilled student model then undergoes a final device-specific fine-tuning stage. Our proposed system achieves a final accuracy of 57.93\% on the development set, demonstrating a significant improvement over the official baseline, particularly on unseen devices.
