arXiv:2606. 19568v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Acoustic gunshot detection is a problem with applications across civilian public safety, military operations, and wildlife conservation, yet the field lacks a rigorous exploration of feature extraction techniques with a focus on generalization to realistic data.
arXiv:2606. 18135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this work, we introduce the Certus Caliber Classification Gunshot Dataset (C3GD), a publicly accessible data set developed for the analysis of firearm muzzle blast sounds.
The paper introduces RALCT, a lightweight Convolutional Transformer that combines randomized audio augmentations, MFCCs, and log‑mel spectrograms to extract robust features for environmental sound recognition. With only about 310,000 parameters, RALCT achieves state‑of‑the‑art accuracy—over 93% on UrbanSound8K, peaking at 94.56%—making it suitable for deployment on mobile devices. The authors also develop a mobile app that integrates the model to provide real‑time safety alerts for hearing‑impaired users.
arXiv:2607. 01297v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most existing audio classification methods suppose that each query (testing) sample belongs to a class of support (training) samples, and misrecognize samples of unseen classes as seen classes (cannot reject samples of unseen classes).
arXiv:2606. 07673v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ambulatory neck-surface acceleration enables non-invasive monitoring of vocal hyperfunction, yet robust biomarkers for its subtypes remain limited.
arXiv:2605. 13672v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Few-shot classification (FSC) is widely used for learning from limited labeled data, yet most evaluations implicitly assume that target concepts are independent of contextual cues.
arXiv:2608. 14287v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Passive acoustic sensing offers a critical, cost-efficient, and, crucially, passive alternative for detecting small unmanned aerial vehicles.
arXiv:2609.17076v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Few-shot audio classifiers may rely on foreground-background co-occurrences and fail when those correlations shift. On SpurAudio, the resulting represe...
arXiv:2607. 16736v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper presents RealDESED, a real-world domestic sound event detection (SED) benchmark comprising 5,710 audio recordings collected by 652 participants in their homes.
This paper introduces an automated one‑shot bird call classification pipeline tailored for rare species that lack large training datasets. By leveraging embedding spaces from large bird classification networks and a cosine‑similarity classifier, the system incorporates filtering and denoising steps to detect calls with minimal data. The approach was validated on simulated Xeno‑Canto recordings and on the critically endangered tooth‑billed pigeon, achieving 1.0 recall and 0.95 accuracy. "whyItMatters":"The system enables conservationists to monitor endangered species with only a few recordings, filling a gap left by existing large‑scale classifiers."
arXiv:2607. 01974v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This technical report describes our system for Task 1 of the DCASE 2026 Challenge, which aims to classify heterogeneous audio recordings according to the Broad Sound Taxonomy (BST).
WaveScat introduces a new family of feature extractors for speech deepfake detection that merges wavelet scattering transform (WST) with self‑supervised learning. By cascading wavelet convolutions with modulus nonlinearities, WaveScat produces deformation‑stable, multi‑scale features that capture both low‑level spectral details and higher‑level information. Experiments on Deepfake‑Eval‑2024 and cross‑dataset tests (SpoofCeleb, In‑the‑Wild, ASVspoof 5) demonstrate that WaveScat significantly outperforms existing front‑ends, with a small averaging scale and high‑frequency directional resolution proving crucial for detecting subtle artifacts.
