Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a system and method for localization of a target sound event. The system collects a first digital representation of an acoustic mixture of sounds of a plurality of sound events, by using an acoustic sensor. The system receives a second digital representation of a sound corresponding to the target sound event. Further, the first digital representation and the second digital representation are processed by a neural network to produce a localization information indicative of a location of an origin of the target sound event with respect to a location of the acoustic sensor.
