Researchers at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications introduced SELD-Mamba, an architecture leveraging selective state-space models for Sound Event Localization and Detection (SELD) with Source Distance Estimation (SDE). The model achieves a SELD score of 0.381 with 75.14M parameters and 6.35 G/s MACs, demonstrating competitive performance with significantly higher efficiency than Transformer-based counterparts.

Key insights

  • Selective state-space models like Mamba can replace Transformer self-attention in SELD tasks, offering comparable or superior performance with substantially reduced computational overhead.
  • A two-stage training strategy effectively optimizes multi-task SELD performance by addressing tasks of varying difficulty, notably improving SDE accuracy after core localization and detection capabilities are established.
  • The combination of log-mel spectrograms as input features for the SDE branch, without intensity vectors, yields improved overall SELD performance.
