Audio Set: An ontology and human-labeled dataset for audio events

TLDR
The creation of Audio Set is described, a large-scale dataset of manually-annotated audio events that endeavors to bridge the gap in data availability between image and audio research and substantially stimulate the development of high-performance audio event recognizers.
Abstract
Audio event recognition, the human-like ability to identify and relate sounds from audio, is a nascent problem in machine perception. Comparable problems such as object detection in images have reaped enormous benefits from comprehensive datasets - principally ImageNet. This paper describes the creation of Audio Set, a large-scale dataset of manually-annotated audio events that endeavors to bridge the gap in data availability between image and audio research. Using a carefully structured hierarchical ontology of 632 audio classes guided by the literature and manual curation, we collect data from human labelers to probe the presence of specific audio classes in 10 second segments of YouTube videos. Segments are proposed for labeling using searches based on metadata, context (e.g., links), and content analysis. The result is a dataset of unprecedented breadth and size that will, we hope, substantially stimulate the development of high-performance audio event recognizers.

Look, Listen and Learn

TL;DR: There is a valuable, but so far untapped, source of information contained in the video itself – the correspondence between the visual and the audio streams, and a novel “Audio-Visual Correspondence” learning task that makes use of this.

Audio-Visual Scene Analysis with Self-Supervised Multisensory Features

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the visual and audio components of a video signal should be modeled jointly using a fused multisensory representation, and they propose to learn such a representation in a self-supervised way, by training a neural network to predict whether video frames and audio are temporally aligned.
