Reliable sound source localization is fundamental to robot audition, enabling autonomous robots to perceive spatial cues and operate effectively in dynamic environments. Classical methods such as Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) offer strong theoretical foundations but degrade under low signal-to-noise ratios.

Humans can selectively attend to a target sound and estimate its direction in complex scenarios, whereas such selective localization remains challenging for current deep learning-based systems. Sound source localization (SSL) has achieved remarkable success with deep learning, yet most methods localize all active sources without selectivity.
The paper introduces MUSIC-Net, an end-to-end deep learning framework for near-field multi-user positioning that incorporates a two-stage MUSIC algorithm to isolate line-of-sight signal components and estimate surrogate distances. By embedding these MUSIC-derived objects into training, the method bypasses separate parameter estimation and path/source association, directly recovering user positions even in mixed LoS/NLoS multipath scenarios. Additionally, the authors employ split conformal prediction to provide statistically guaranteed confidence sets for each user’s position, achieving lower mean positioning error and tighter prediction regions compared to existing benchmarks.

The paper introduces a method for learning binaural sound localization by using egomotion as a supervisory signal. By tracking how a camera’s direction changes relative to a sound source during a video, the authors train an audio model to predict sound directions that align with visual estimates of camera motion derived from multi‑view geometry. They evaluate this approach on a newly proposed dataset of real‑world audio‑visual videos with egomotion, demonstrating that the model can learn from real data and perform well on sound localization tasks.
