Band Prompting Aided SAR and Multi-Spectral Data Fusion Framework for Local Climate Zone Classification

Local climate zone (LCZ) classification is of great value for understanding the complex interactions between urban development and local climate. Recent studies have increasingly focused on the fusion of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and multi-spectral data to improve LCZ classification performance. However, it remains challenging due to the distinct physical properties of these two types of data and the absence of effective fusion guidance. In this paper, a novel band prompting aided data fusion framework is proposed for LCZ classification, namely BP-LCZ, which utilizes textual prompts associated with band groups to guide the model in learning the physical attributes of different bands and semantics of various categories inherent in SAR and multi-spectral data to augment the fused feature, thus enhancing LCZ classification performance. Specifically, a band group prompting (BGP) strategy is introduced to align the visual representation effectively at the level of band groups, which also facilitates a more adequate extraction of semantic information of different bands with textual information. In addition, a multivariate supervised matrix (MSM) based training strategy is proposed to alleviate the problem of positive and negative sample confusion by completing the supervised information. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed data fusion framework.

Hierarchical Metadata Information Constrained Self-Supervised Learning for Anomalous Sound Detection Under Domain Shift

Self-supervised learning methods have achieved promising performance for anomalous sound detection (ASD) under domain shift, where the type of domain shift is considered in feature learning by incorporating section IDs. However, the attributes accompanying audio files under each section, such as machine operating conditions and noise types, have not been considered, although they are also crucial for characterizing domain shifts. In this paper, we present a hierarchical metadata information constrained self-supervised (HMIC) ASD method, where the hierarchical relation between section IDs and attributes is constructed, and used as constraints to obtain finer feature representation. In addition, we propose an attribute-group-center (AGC)-based method for calculating the anomaly score under the domain shift condition. Experiments are performed to demonstrate its improved performance over the state-of-the-art self-supervised methods in DCASE 2022 challenge Task 2.

Local Information Assisted Attention-free Decoder for Audio Captioning

Automated audio captioning aims to describe audio data with captions using natural language. Existing methods often employ an encoder-decoder structure, where the attention-based decoder (e.g., Transformer decoder) is widely used and achieves state-of-the-art performance. Although this method effectively captures global information within audio data via the self-attention mechanism, it may ignore the event with short time duration, due to its limitation in capturing local information in an audio signal, leading to inaccurate prediction of captions. To address this issue, we propose a method using the pretrained audio neural networks (PANNs) as the encoder and local information assisted attention-free Transformer (LocalAFT) as the decoder. The novelty of our method is in the proposal of the LocalAFT decoder, which allows local information within an audio signal to be captured while retaining the global information. This enables the events of different duration, including short duration, to be captured for more precise caption generation. Experiments show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in Task 6 of the DCASE 2021 Challenge with the standard attention-based decoder for caption generation.
