Environmental sound classification using a regularized deep convolutional neural network with data augmentation

The adoption of the environmental sound classification (ESC) tasks increases very rapidly over recent years due to its broad range of applications in our daily routine life. ESC is also known as Sound Event Recognition (SER) which involves the context of recognizing the audio stream, related to various environmental sounds. Some frequent and common aspects like non-uniform distance between acoustic source and microphone, the difference in the...
