摘要翻译：
在本文中，我们在音频事件检测中引入了事件性的概念，它在一定程度上可以被看作是计算机视觉中的对象性的一种模拟。事件概念背后的关键观察是，音频事件在频谱图中表现为具有特定纹理和几何结构的二维时频模式。然后，这些时频模式可以类似于自然图像中出现的对象来查看（除了缩放和旋转不变性属性不适用之外）。考虑到这一关键观察，我们将单声道或多声道音频事件的检测问题作为一个等价的视觉目标检测问题，在部分遮挡和频谱图中的杂波情况下。我们采用了一个最先进的视觉对象检测模型来评估公开数据集上的音频事件检测任务。拟议的网络与最先进的基线具有可比性，对少数群体事件更加稳健。在提供大规模数据集的情况下，我们希望我们提出的事件性概念模型能够对音频信号处理界有所帮助，从而提高音频事件检测的性能。

英文摘要：
  In this paper, we introduce the concept of Eventness for audio event detection, which can, in part, be thought of as an analogue to Objectness from computer vision. The key observation behind the eventness concept is that audio events reveal themselves as 2-dimensional time-frequency patterns with specific textures and geometric structures in spectrograms. These time-frequency patterns can then be viewed analogously to objects occurring in natural images (with the exception that scaling and rotation invariance properties do not apply). With this key observation in mind, we pose the problem of detecting monophonic or polyphonic audio events as an equivalent visual object(s) detection problem under partial occlusion and clutter in spectrograms. We adapt a state-of-the-art visual object detection model to evaluate the audio event detection task on publicly available datasets. The proposed network has comparable results with a state-of-the-art baseline and is more robust on minority events. Provided large-scale datasets, we hope that our proposed conceptual model of eventness will be beneficial to the audio signal processing community towards improving performance of audio event detection.
