Hierarchical Metadata Information Constrained Self-Supervised Learning for Anomalous Sound Detection Under Domain Shift
Self-supervised learning methods have achieved promising performance for anomalous sound detection (ASD) under domain shift, where the type of domain shift is considered in feature learning by incorporating section IDs. However, the attributes accompanying audio files under each section, such as machine operating conditions and noise types, have not been considered, although they are also crucial for characterizing domain shifts. In this paper, we present a hierarchical metadata information constrained self-supervised (HMIC) ASD method, where the hierarchical relation between section IDs and attributes is constructed, and used as constraints to obtain finer feature representation. In addition, we propose an attribute-group-center (AGC)-based method for calculating the anomaly score under the domain shift condition. Experiments are performed to demonstrate its improved performance over the state-of-the-art self-supervised methods in DCASE 2022 challenge Task 2.
