Improved Auditory Inspired Convolutional Neural Networks for Ship Type Classification
Abstract
We introduce an improved auditory inspired con-volutional neural network for modeling raw ship radiated noise and classifying ship types. Dilated convolution is used in Gam-matone initialed multiscale convolution kernels. Time-frequency conversion layer and frequency convolutional layers are applied to extract spectro-temporal features. Global average pooling layer are applied before predicting targets in softmax layer. The whole model is optimized with an objective function of ship type classification. Parameters are significantly reduced by dilated convolution layer and global average pooling layer. Experiments on acquired ship radiated noise proved that classification performance have improved. Dilated convolutions could accomplish the task of auditory filtering.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
