Abstract
- The DCASE 2018 Challenge consists of five tasks related to automatic classification and detection of sound events and scenes. This paper presents the setup of Task 5 which includes the description of the task, dataset and the baseline system. In this task, it is investigated to which extent multi-channel acoustic recordings are beneficial for the purpose of classifying domestic activities. The goal is to exploit spectral and spatial cues independent of sensor location using multi-channel audio. For this purpose we provided a development and evaluation dataset which are derivatives of the SINS database and contain domestic activities recorded by multiple microphone arrays. The baseline system, based on a Neural Network architecture using convolutional and dense layer(s), is intended to lower the hurdle to participate the challenge and to provide a reference performance.
