Abstract - Audio Scene Classification has received more attention
in the past few years. It is the recognition of surrounding
environment with the support of the background sound. This paper
proposes a system for classifying audio scene that is based on
Gated Recurrent Neural Network. The system includes two main
parts - feature extraction and classification. In feature extraction
part Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) are extracted;
these features, then, are used for classifying by Gated RNNs which
consist of long short-term memory (LSTM) and networks based on
the gated recurrent unit (GRU). Experimental results are conducted
on LITIS Rouen dataset which includes 19 classes and contains
about 1,500 minutes of audio scene recordings. Our proposed
system achieves the best recognition accuracy of 94.92%, which
is quite high in audio scene classification and about 3.0% higher
compared to the baseline system.

1. Introduction
Audio signals play an essential role in many
applications, such as audio scene classification, home
automation, multimedia indexing, and robot navigation. In
recent years, audio scene classification has receives more
and more attentions since it is an important problem of
computational auditory scene analysis (CASA) [1, 2].
Audio scene analysis is a challenging machine learning
task, and solving this problem plays an important role so
that a device can recognize a surrounding environment via
the sound it captures.
Audio scene classification is a complex problem since
an audio scene related to a given location can appear a wide
variety of single sound events while only a few of them
provide some information about the scene. Hence, it is
challenging to obtain a good representation and
performance for classification. Over the last few years, a
number of feature extraction methods have been proposed
for related problem, such as speech recognition and audio
event classification, for example Gammatone filters,
Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and Gabor
dictionaries [4]. One of the most prominent features that
have been used to characterize an audio scene is mel-
frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC). MFCC features
have demonstrated good performance in speech and music
applications. These features extracted from a time
frequency (TF) representation, they essentially capture
non-linear information about the power spectrum of the
signal. Following the success of MFCC, in this paper we
also choose MFCC as a feature extraction method.
The choice of the classifiers also holds an important
role in an audio scene recognition system. Early works in
Audio Scene Classification, Gaussian mixture models
(GMMs), hidden Markov models (HMMs), and Support
vector machines (SVM) are commonly applied for
classification. In recent years, deep neural networks
(DNNs) has demonstrated its superiority when applied to
audio data, for instance [5, 6, 7]. Additionally, the
problems of automatic environmental sound recognition -
known as acoustic scene classification (ASC) has received
more and more attention from the research community in
the last few years. One of the well-known challenges of
ASC recently is DCASE 2016 challenge [8] which gained
great attention from researchers. In most of classification
approaches researchers have used in this challenge, deep
neural networks represents the state-of-the-art [9, 10].
Motivated by the great success of DNNs for processing
sequential data, in this paper we are favor of gated
recurrent neural networks [11, 12] for audio scene
classification. GRNNs include the long short-term memory
(LSTM) and networks based on the gated recurrent unit
(GRU). We evaluate gated RNNs on LITIS Rouen dataset
[13]. The goal of this work is to investigate the
applicability of Gated RNNs model to ASC and to compare
their performance with the baseline [13]. In addition, we
will compare performance on different models which we
propose in this paper.
The paper is organized as follows. Firstly, we introduce
Gated RNNs in Section 2 and present the proposed system
in Section 3. We then illustrate the dataset used in our
evaluation and show the result in Section 4. Finally, we
draw a conclusion in Section 5.

2. Gated recurrent neural networks
Gated RNNs are a very special kind of recurrent neural
networks (RNNs). One of the great of RNNs is the idea that
they might be able to connect previous information to the
present task. However, the difficulty in training an RNN to
capture long-term dependency problem that gradients
propagated over many stages tend to either vanish or
explode [14]. Gated RNNS (LSTMs, GRUs) are rooted in
the idea of creating paths through time that have
derivatives that neither vanish nor explode. Both LSTMs
and GRUs use gates to control the information flow
through the network. However, the GRU was found to
outperform the LSTM on some tasks.
2.1. Long short-term memory (LSTM)
LSTMs were introduced by Hochreiter and chmidhuber
(1997). Then several variants of the LSTM have been
introduced and popularized by many researchers in
following work. LSTM structure uses memory cells to
store information through a gating mechanism. There are
several variants of the LSTM. In this article, we use the
LSTM structure that is proposed in [16] without peep-hole
connections and it is described in Figure 1. Given an input
sequence: 𝑥 = ( 𝑥1, 𝑥2, , 𝑥𝑇), a LSTM network
calculates a mapping from an input to output by computing
the network unit activations using the following equations
iteratively from 𝑡 = 1 to 𝑇:
𝑖𝑡 = sigm (𝑊𝑥𝑖𝑥𝑡 + 𝑊ℎ𝑖ℎ𝑡−1 + 𝑏𝑖)
𝑗𝑡 = 𝑡𝑎𝑛ℎ(𝑊𝑥𝑗𝑥𝑡 + 𝑊ℎ𝑗ℎ𝑡−1 + 𝑏𝑗)
𝑓𝑡 = 𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑚(𝑊𝑥𝑓𝑥𝑡 + 𝑊ℎ𝑓ℎ𝑡−1 + 𝑏𝑓)
𝑜𝑡 = 𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑚(𝑊𝑥𝑜𝑥𝑡 + 𝑊ℎ𝑜ℎ𝑡−1 + 𝑏𝑜)
𝑐𝑡 = 𝑐𝑡−1⊙𝑓𝑡 + 𝑖𝑡⊙𝑗𝑡
ℎ𝑡 = 𝑟𝑒𝑙𝑢(𝑐𝑡)⊙𝑜𝑡
where 𝑊∗ variables are the weight matrices (e.g. 𝑊𝑥𝑖 is
the matrix of weight from the input gate to the input), 𝑏∗
variables are the biases (e.g. 𝑏𝑖 is the input gate bias
vector), and 𝑖, 𝑓, 𝑜 and 𝑐 are the input gate, forget gate,
output gate and cell activation vector, respectively, all of
which are the same size as the hidden vector ℎ. The
operation ⊙ denotes the element wise vector product. The𝑗
variable is a candidate hidden state that is computed based
on the current input and the previous state. The LSTM
combats the vanished gradient problem by using an internal
memory 𝑐𝑡 of the unit and give complexity decisions over
short periods of time through a state ℎ𝑡.
2.2. Gated recurrent unit (GRU)
GRUs were proposed in [12] and could be considered a
special case of the LSTMs. The idea behind a GRU layer
is quite similar to that of a LSTM layer. The key difference
with the LSTM is that a single gating unit simultaneously
controls the forgetting factor and the decision to update the
state unit. The equations are the following:
𝑟𝑡 = sigm (𝑊𝑥𝑟𝑥𝑡 + 𝑊ℎ𝑟ℎ𝑡−1 + 𝑏𝑟)
𝑧𝑡 = 𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑚(𝑊𝑥𝑧𝑥𝑡 + 𝑊ℎ𝑧ℎ𝑡−1 + 𝑏𝑧)
ℎ̃𝑡 = 𝑡𝑎𝑛ℎ(𝑊𝑥ℎ𝑥𝑡 + 𝑊ℎℎ(𝑟𝑡⊙ℎ𝑡−1) + 𝑏ℎ)
ℎ𝑡 = 𝑧𝑡⊙ℎ𝑡−1 + (1 − 𝑧𝑡) ⊙ℎ̃𝑡
In these equations, 𝑟 stands for reset gate and 𝑧 for update
gate. Intuitively, the reset gate controls parts of the state
which get used to compute the next target state, and the
update gate balances previous state ℎ𝑡−1 and the candidate
state ℎ̃𝑡.

features into standard LSTM, GRU and DGRU, finally, we
evaluate an output for every input signal.
3.2. Feature extraction
The best representation of audio signals is an important
task to get a better recognition performance. The efficiency
of this phase puts an important role for the next phase to
demonstrate good results, since it helps a selection of
proper features. Mel frequency cepstral coefficient is the
most widely used cepstral feature. In comparison to other
feature extraction such as MP features, Linear prediction
cepstral (LPC) coefficients and Spectral Flatness Measure
(SFM), MFCC has proven to achieve better performance in
recognizing structure of audio signal. Based on human
hearing perceptions, MFCC can perceive frequencies
below 1000 Hz. The block diagram of an overall MFCC
process is shown in Fig .4:
Fig. 4. The block diagram of MFCC
Fig. 5. The pipeline of operations in the feature extraction
phase
Figure 5 describes the steps in the feature extraction stage.
The first processing step is to convert a recording to mono
by averaging the two channels into a single one. The
normalized audio signal is then performed on each 50
milliseconds frame with 50% overlap. For each frame
band, we calculate its STFT, Mel filter bank, and
Logarithm before computing Discrete Cosine Transform.
We extract 60 MFCCs coefficients which include 20-log
frequency filter bank coefficients, first-order differential
Mel frequency cepstrum coefficients (ΔMFCC), and the
second-order differential Mel frequency (ΔΔMFCC)
cepstrum coefficients.
3.3. Proposed Gated RNNs
ASC deal with sounds in daily life sound that can be
heard in a typical indoor or outdoor environment. The
challenge in such environments is the complexity in
environmental sound composition, and the adverse effects
from noise, similar sounds, distortion and different
sources. Therefore, the characteristics of acoustic are
difficult to well define. It is important to develop methods
that can perform well for this challenging task. In this
work, we propose three Gated RNN systems for ASC
(Fig. 3).
Information about the Gated RNN systems is as
follows.
• Input: Window size is 50; global-mean subtraction
and standard deviation division are used.
• Hidden layers: Number of hidden units in single-layer
Gated RNNs is 100. For more than two-layer Gated
RNNs, each subsequent layer has 50 units more than the
previous layer.
• Output: Size of the output is 19 equal to the number
of classes; softmax connections.
All the network is trained on 20 training folds in
which each training fold contains 2.419 audio signals.
The weights in all the networks are drawn randomly
from a normal distribution with zero mean, and standard
deviation of 0.1. For stable convergence, we use
Adadelta optimization algorithm [15] in during training.
With Adadelta, we do not mind learning rate, as it has
been eliminated from the update rule. We set epsilon to
be 10−6 like original paper [15] for guaranteeing stable
convergence. Since a recurrent network over many time
steps tend to have derivatives that can be either large or
very small in magnitude, we clip the norm of the
gradient before the parameter update with the norm
threshold of 1 that guarantees that each steps is still in
the gradient direction. During training we evaluate train
accuracy for each fold after 1.000 loops, then, we save
parameters corresponding the best train accuracy to
calculate test accuracy.

4. Experiments
4.1. Dataset
The experiments are carried out on the LITIS Rouen
dataset [13] that contains 3026 30 second audio clips of 19
different urban scene categories recorded with the total
duration 1.500 minutes. The dataset is recorded from
December 2012 to June 2014. A class took place at
different locations and several days of that period.
Recording has occurred at a rate of 44.100 KHz and the
number of samples of per class is different. Audio scene
dataset is split into 20 train/test fold in which a fold consists
of the training set of 2.419 and test set of 607 audios. A
summary of the dataset is illustrated in Table 1.
4.2. Experiment results
Table 2. Audio scene classification accuracy (%)
Models Feature Accuracy
Baseline HOG 91.5
LSTM MFCC 89.04
GRU MFCC 92.85
DGRU MFCC 94.92
In Table 2, we present the results for LSTM, GRU and
DGRU based MFCC features and we also compare to
baseline accuracy [13]. It is clear that, except LSTM model
(89.05%), both our GRU and DGRU models achieve the
higher performance than original paper of 92.85%,
94.92%, and 91.5%, respectively.
Table 3. Confusion matrix of overall classification
(GRU models)
Table 3 shows confusion matrix of overall
classification on GRU model of 20 fold which includes
12.140 audio scenes.
Table 4. Confusion matrix of overall classification
(DGRU model)
Confusion matrix of overall classification on DGRU
model of fold 1 which consists of 607 audio scenes also is
presented in Table 4. According to Table 4, it is seen that
classes misclassify with each other occur very little. Almost
classes have classification accuracy of more than 94%.
5. Conclusion
Classifying audio scene is currently challenge in the
computational auditory scene analysis domain. In this
paper we proposed three systems including LSTM, GRU,
DGRU for audio scene classification. Experiment results
indicate the GRU and DGRU models achieves
significantly better performance in comparison to LSTM
and baseline models using the same dataset (LITIS
Rouen). So far in our experiments, we will apply our
models on the different data set such as DCASE dataset
and different optimization methods like SGD, rmsprop,
and Adagrad. There are no described details about our
models, special DGRU. We will illustrate them more detail
in the future work.
