Add to EdgeAutoencoder with Group-based Decoder and Multi-task Optimization for Anomalous Sound Detection
Nov 15, 2023
In industry, machine anomalous sound detection (ASD) is in great demand. However, collecting enough abnormal samples is difficult due to the high cost, which boosts the rapid development of unsupervised ASD algorithms. Autoencoder (AE) based methods have been widely used for unsupervised ASD, but suffer from problems including 'shortcut', poor anti-noise ability and sub-optimal quality of features. To address these challenges, we propose a new AE-based framework termed AEGM. Specifically, we first insert an auxiliary classifier into AE to enhance ASD in a multi-task learning manner. Then, we design a group-based decoder structure, accompanied by an adaptive loss function, to endow the model with domain-specific knowledge. Results on the DCASE 2021 Task 2 development set show that our methods achieve a relative improvement of 13.11% and 15.20% respectively in average AUC over the official AE and MobileNetV2 across test sets of seven machines.
