Convolutional neural networks represent the state of the art in multiple fields.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of progressive resizing, originally introduced in computer vision, when applied to the training of convolutional neural networks for audio events classification.

Two of the most relevant audio datasets are used for assessing the performances of the proposed approach. Experimental results suggest that progressive resizing methods improves the performances of audio events classification models. The novel approach introduces a complimentary gain in performances with respect to the original technique.

Abstract

Convolutional neural networks represent the state of the art in multiple fields. Techniques that improve the training of these models are of prime interest since they have the capability to improve performances on a large variety of tasks. In this paper, we investigate the performance of progressive resizing, originally introduced in computer vision, when applied to the training of convolutional neural networks for audio events classification. We evaluate the original resizing algorithm and introduce a novel one, comparing the performances against a baseline system. Two of the most relevant audio datasets are used for assessing the performances of the proposed approach. Experimental results suggest that progressive resizing methods improves the performances of audio events classification models. The novel approach introduces a complimentary gain in performances with respect to the original technique.
