Acoustic Event Detection

Introduction:

  • The given problem is an audio classification problem, technically know as Acoustic Event Detection
  • Each audio file corresponds to an event class, e.g., children-playing, dog-barking, air_conditioner, drilling, etc. The folder "audio_train_1ch/" contains the mono audio files (1761 wav files) and the file "labels_train.csv" contains the class labels.

Task 1

Given an audio file corresponds to a single event, find out that event.

Task 2

Given an audio file contains a sequence of events occurring one after the other, find out that sequence of events. A sequence can contain at least 1 and at most 5 events.
