Abstract

Recently, audio-visual scene classification (AVSC) has attracted increasing attention from multidisciplinary communities. Previous studies tended to adopt a pipeline training strategy, which uses well-trained visual and acoustic encoders to extract high-level representations (embeddings) first, then utilizes them to train the audio-visual classifier. In this way, the extracted embeddings are well suited for uni-modal classifiers, but not necessarily suited for multi-modal ones. In this paper, we propose a joint training framework, using the acoustic features and raw images directly as inputs for the AVSC task. Specifically, we retrieve the bottom layers of pre-trained image models as visual encoder, and jointly optimize the scene classifier and 1D-CNN based acoustic encoder during training. We evaluate the approach on the development dataset of TAU Urban Audio-Visual Scenes 2021. The experimental results show that our proposed approach achieves significant improvement over the conventi
