Abstract
We introduce the joint time-frequency scattering transform, a time shift invariant descriptor of time-frequency structure for audio classification. It is obtained by applying a two-dimensional wavelet transform in time and log-frequency to a time-frequency wavelet scalogram. We show that this descriptor successfully characterizes complex time-frequency phenomena such as time-varying filters and frequency modulated excitations. State-of-the-art results are achieved for signal reconstruction and phone segment classification on the TIMIT dataset.

Per-Channel Energy Normalization: Why and How

TL;DR: This letter investigates the adequacy of PCEN for spectrogram-based pattern recognition in far-field noisy recordings, both from theoretical and practical standpoints and describes the asymptotic regimes in PCEN: temporal integration, gain control, and dynamic range compression.

Extended playing techniques: the next milestone in musical instrument recognition

TL;DR: This work identifies and discusses three necessary conditions for significantly outperforming the traditional mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) baseline: the addition of second-order scattering coefficients to account for amplitude modulation, the incorporation of long-range temporal dependencies, and metric learning using large-margin nearest neighbors (LMNN) to reduce intra-class variability.

Exponential decay of scattering coefficients

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the norm of the scattering coefficients at a given layer only depends on the values of the signal outside a frequency band whose size is exponential in the depth of the layer.

Comparison of parametric representations for monosyllabic word recognition in continuously spoken sentences

TL;DR: In this article, several parametric representations of the acoustic signal were compared with regard to word recognition performance in a syllable-oriented continuous speech recognition system, and the emphasis was on the ability to retain phonetically significant acoustic information in the face of syntactic and duration variations.
