Capturing scattered discriminative information using a deep architecture in acoustic scene classification
Frequently misclassified pairs of classes that share many common acoustic properties exist in acoustic scene classification (ASC). To distinguish such pairs of classes, trivial details scattered throughout the data could be vital clues. However, these details are less noticeable and are easily removed using conventional non-linear activations (e.g. ReLU). Furthermore, making design choices to emphasize trivial details can easily lead to overfitting if the system is not sufficiently generalized. In this study, based on the analysis of the ASC task's characteristics, we investigate various methods to capture discriminative information and simultaneously mitigate the overfitting problem. We adopt a max feature map method to replace conventional non-linear activations in a deep neural network, and therefore, we apply an element-wise comparison between different filters of a convolution layer's output. Two data augment methods and two deep architecture modules are further explored to reduce overfitting and sustain the system's discriminative power. Various experiments are conducted using the detection and classification of acoustic scenes and events 2020 task1-a dataset to validate the proposed methods. Our results show that the proposed system consistently outperforms the baseline, where the single best performing system has an accuracy of 70.4% compared to 65.1% of the baseline.
