摘要翻译：
从声音事件的角度进行音频内容分析是一个重要的研究问题，在各种应用中都有广泛的应用。近年来，弱标记音频或声音事件检测(AED)方法的发展和大规模弱标记数据集的出现为大规模AED的实现开辟了可能。然而，关于弱标签如何影响声音事件学习的更深入的理解仍然缺乏文献。在这项工作中，我们首先描述了一种基于CNN的音频事件弱监督训练方法。该方法遵循了基于弱标记音频的学习方法所需的一些基本设计原则。然后我们描述了声音事件弱监督学习中自然出现的重要特征。我们展示了弱标签的这些方面如何影响模型的泛化。更具体地说，我们研究了标签密度和标签损坏等特征如何影响音频事件的弱监督训练。我们还研究了不需要人工标记就可以直接从web上获取弱标记数据的可行性，并将其与人工标记的数据集进行了比较。在未来的弱标签学习方法的发展中，应该考虑到对这些因素的分析和理解。Audioset是一个大规模的弱标记声音事件数据集。

英文摘要：
  Audio content analysis in terms of sound events is an important research problem for a variety of applications. Recently, the development of weak labeling approaches for audio or sound event detection (AED) and availability of large scale weakly labeled dataset have finally opened up the possibility of large scale AED. However, a deeper understanding of how weak labels affect the learning for sound events is still missing from literature. In this work, we first describe a CNN based approach for weakly supervised training of audio events. The approach follows some basic design principle desirable in a learning method relying on weakly labeled audio. We then describe important characteristics, which naturally arise in weakly supervised learning of sound events. We show how these aspects of weak labels affect the generalization of models. More specifically, we study how characteristics such as label density and corruption of labels affects weakly supervised training for audio events. We also study the feasibility of directly obtaining weak labeled data from the web without any manual label and compare it with a dataset which has been manually labeled. The analysis and understanding of these factors should be taken into picture in the development of future weak label learning methods. Audioset, a large scale weakly labeled dataset for sound events is used in our experiments.
