Semi-Supervised Active Learning for Sound Classification in Hybrid Learning Environments

Abstract

There are 16,930 sound instances in our database with durations ranging 242 from 1 to 10 seconds, which correspond to (approximately) 15 hours of environmental 243 sounds. All sound files were converted into raw 16 bit encoding, mono-channel, and 16 244 kHz sampling rate, as various formats and rates were used in the original versions 245 retrieved from the web
