Efficient Large-scale Audio Tagging via Transformer-to-CNN Knowledge Distillation

Abstract: Audio Spectrogram Transformer models rule the field of Audio Tagging, outrunning previously dominating Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Their superiority is based on the ability to scale up and exploit large-scale datasets such as AudioSet. However, Transformers are demanding in terms of model size and computational requirements compared to CNNs. We propose a training procedure for efficient CNNs based on offline Knowledge Distillation (KD) from highperforming yet complex transformers. The proposed traini… Show more

“…In conclusion, the Transformer model had the following advantages over the convolutional models: firstly, it constructed long-distance feature relationships, and the Transformer used the attention mechanism to obtain the contextual information of the feature map, which made up for the slow process of expanding from the local features to the global features through layer-by-layer down sampling operations [ 60 , 61 , 62 ]. Secondly, it had the capability of multimodal fusion.…”

“…We extract sound tags to provide more context. We use an audio tagging model (Schmid et al, 2022) to classify the entire audio stream. We select the top 3 predicted tags that have a higher confidence value than the threshold (0.3).…”
