Abstract: Semantic feature combination/parsing issue is one of the key problems in sound event classification for acoustic scene analysis, environmental sound monitoring, and urban soundscape analysis. The input audio signal in the acoustic scene classification is composed of multiple acoustic events, which usually leads to low recognition rate in complex environments. To address this issue, this paper proposes the Hierarchical-Concatenate Fusion(HCF)-TDNN model by adding HCF Module to ECAPA-TDNN model for sound event classification. In the HCF module, firstly, the audio signal is converted into two-dimensional time-frequency features for segmentation. Then, the segmented features are convolved one by one for improving the small receptive field in perceiving details. Finally, after the convolution is completed, the two adjacent parts are combined before proceeding with the next convolution for enlarging the receptive field in capturing large targets. Therefore, the improved model further enhances the scalability by emphasizing channel attention and efficient propagation and aggregation of feature information. The proposed model is trained and validated on the Urbansound8K dataset. The experimental results show that the proposed model can achieve the best classification accuracy of 95.83%, which is an approximate improvement of 5% (relatively) over the ECAPA-TDNN model.
