Sound anomaly detection with mixed augmented datasets

Abstract

Methods and computer program products for training a neural network perform multiple forms of data augmentation on sample waveforms of a training dataset that includes both normal and abnormal samples to generate normal data augmentation samples and abnormal data augmentation samples. The normal data augmentation samples are labeled according to a type of data augmentation that was performed on each respective normal data augmentation sample. The abnormal data augmentation samples are labeled according to a type of data augmentation other than that which was performed on each respective abnormal data augmentation sample. A neural network model is trained to identify a form of data augmentation that has been performed on a waveform using the normal data augmentation samples and the abnormal data augmentation samples.
