A Neuromorphic Trigger for Efficient Audio Event Detection
arXiv:2606. 17775v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Efficient processing of continuous audio streams remains a key challenge for real-time and resource-constrained systems.
The paper presents an autoencoder-based acoustic anomaly detection system implemented on Intel’s Loihi 2 neuromorphic processor. It achieves high detection performance—0.9959 AUC on a clean ToyADMOS ToyCar benchmark and 0.7990 source AUC on a noisy DCASE 2026 Task 2 ToyCar benchmark—while operating with only 0.0406–0.0426 mJ of dynamic energy per sample, far below CPU and GPU baselines. The system demonstrates that low‑power, on‑chip inference is feasible for persistent machine monitoring.

arXiv:2606. 19039v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The mismatch between continuous acoustic signals and discrete event-driven processing remains a fundamental bottleneck for neuromorphic speech processing.
Reliable event detection underpins induced-seismicity monitoring for Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) and geothermal operations, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), and industrial condition monitoring. In each setting a detector must stay reliable both when sensors fail and when the signal is buried in noise.
The paper explores how the number of bird species (target classes) affects the compressibility of neural networks for passive acoustic monitoring on microcontroller units (MCUs). By training and compressing models with varying class counts, the authors show that significant compression can be achieved with minimal performance loss. They also benchmark different hardware platforms and assess the feasibility of deploying energy‑autonomous monitoring devices.
