Learning from YouTube
Abstract
In Learning from YouTube, Dockray uses the form of an explanatory YouTube video to introduce the reader to Audio Set, an experimental project instigated by Google’s ‘Sound Understanding Team’. Audio Set is a collection of more than two million short sound clips extracted from YouTube videos that are used as data for training Google’s “deep learning systems” to label hundreds or thousands of different sound events in real-world recordings just as human listeners can recognize and relate the sounds they hear.
