MADS: A Multiview Acoustic Descriptor Set Beyond Standard Spectral Summaries

MADS (Multi-view Acoustic Descriptor Set) is a compact 19‑dimensional, physics‑informed descriptor set designed to capture spectral, temporal, mechanical, and stochastic aspects of audio signals. Unlike traditional log‑mel or MFCC representations, MADS encodes excitation, damping, periodicity, impulsiveness, and structural consistency in a unified multi‑view format. Evaluated on ESC‑10, ESC‑50, and MSoS datasets with classical machine learning models, MADS outperforms conventional 26‑D MFCC and 38‑D spectral‑summary baselines, achieving 81.00% on ESC‑10, 52.78% on ESC‑50, and 67.48% on MSoS while using roughly half the dimensionality of the 38‑D baseline.

SsgCaps: A controlled dataset for the evaluation of sound scene generation algorithms

SsgCaps is a publicly available dataset of human-engineered sound scenes, each paired with a precisely structured prompt that guides the sampling process. The prompts are drawn from a predefined action-based typology, enabling extensive yet plausible sampling. A comparative quantitative analysis shows only small differences between the open and private versions, supporting the recommendation of the open version for benchmarking sound scene generation algorithms.
