Abstract
A system configured to improve track selection while performing audio type detection using sound source localization (SSL) data is provided. A device processes audio data representing sounds from multiple sound sources to determine SSL data that distinguishes between each of the sound sources. The system detects an acoustic event and performs SSL track selection to select the sound source that corresponds to the acoustic event based on input features. To improve SSL track selection, the system detects current conditions of the environment and determines adaptive weight values that vary based on the current conditions, such as a noise level of the environment, whether playback is detected, whether the device is located near one or more walls, etc. By adjusting the adaptive weight values, the system improves an accuracy of the SSL track selection by prioritizing the input features that are most predictive during the current conditions.
