[论文解读] Classification with Joint Time-Frequency Scattering.
本文提出了联合时频散射变换,一种具有固定小波基滤波器的深度卷积神经网络,能够捕捉时间与频率域中的多尺度能量分布。该方法在音频分类任务中实现了最先进性能,优于时域散射方法,并在准确率上与可学习网络相当。
In time series classification, signals are typically mapped into some intermediate representation which is used to construct models. We introduce the joint time-frequency scattering transform, a locally time-shift invariant representation which characterizes the multiscale energy distribution of a signal in time and frequency. It is computed through wavelet convolutions and modulus non-linearities and may therefore be implemented as a deep convolutional neural network whose filters are not learned but calculated from wavelets. We consider the progression from mel-spectrograms to time scattering and joint time-frequency scattering transforms, illustrating the relationship between increased discriminability and refinements of convolutional network architectures. The suitability of the joint time-frequency scattering transform for characterizing time series is demonstrated through applications to chirp signals and audio synthesis experiments. The proposed transform also obtains state-of-the-art results on several audio classification tasks, outperforming time scattering transforms and achieving accuracies comparable to those of fully learned networks.
