Multimodal AI
Sound event detection
Identifying which sounds occur and, often, when they occur in audio.
Example
An AI system marks the intervals containing an alarm in a recording.
Why people use it
It helps locate useful or important sounds within a recording.
What you'll hear
“When did the alarm start?”
What this means for you
Test overlapping sounds and the consequences of false alarms.
Can you control it?
Developer-only
The people building or running the AI choose this setup. An everyday user generally needs their help to change how this part works.
Common questions
- Is sound event detection the same as identifying a speaker?
- No. It concerns sound events rather than the identity of a voice.
- Can several events happen at once?
- Yes. A recording may contain speech, traffic and an alarm at the same time.
- Does recognizing an alarm explain what caused it?
- No. Detecting the sound does not establish the event behind it.
