OpenYAMNet/YAMNet+

This repository contains the models for OpenYAMNet/YAMNet+, introduced in the paper A dataset and model for auditory scene recognition for hearing devices: AHEAD-DS and OpenYAMNet.

OpenYAMNet is a sound recognition model designed for deployment on edge devices like smartphones connected to hearing devices (e.g., hearing aids and wireless earphones). It serves as a baseline model for sound-based scene recognition.

Model Performance

OpenYAMNet achieved the following results on the testing set of the AHEAD-DS dataset:

• Mean Average Precision (mAP): 0.86
• Accuracy: 0.93

The model is optimized for real-time use, with approximately 50ms of latency for loading and a processing time of ~30ms per 1 second of audio on a 2018 Google Pixel 3.
