Cost-sensitive detection with variational autoencoders for environmental acoustic sensing
Environmental acoustic sensing involves the retrieval and processing of audio signals to better understand our surroundings. While large-scale acoustic data make manual analysis infeasible, they provide a suitable playground for machine learning approaches. Most existing machine learning techniques developed for environmental acoustic sensing do not provide flexible control of the trade-off between the false positive rate and the false negative rate. This paper presents a cost-sensitive classification paradigm, in which the hyper-parameters of classifiers and the structure of variational autoencoders are selected in a principled Neyman-Pearson framework. We examine the performance of the proposed approach using a dataset from the HumBug project which aims to detect the presence of mosquitoes using sound collected by simple embedded devices.

Preventing posterior collapse in variational autoencoders for text generation via decoder regularization
Variational autoencoders trained to minimize the reconstruction error are sensitive to the posterior collapse problem, that is the proposal posterior distribution is always equal to the prior. We propose a novel regulari…
