| contents | Sound Source Localization (SSL) involves estimating the Direction of Arrival (DOA) of sound sources. Since the DOA estimation output space is continuous, regression might be more suitable for DOA, offering higher precision. However, in practice, classification often outperforms regression, exhibiting greater robustness to interference. Conversely, classification's drawback is inherent quantization error. Within the classification paradigm, the DOA output space is discretized into intervals, each treated as a class. These classes show strong inter-class correlations, being inherently ordered, with higher similarity as intervals grow closer. Nevertheless, this has not been fully exploited. To address this, we propose an Unbiased Label Distribution (ULD) to eliminate quantization error in training targets. Furthermore, we tailor two loss functions for the soft label family: Negative Log Absolute Error (NLAE) and Mean Squared Error without activation (MSE(wo)). Finally, we introduce Weighted Adjacent Decoding (WAD) to overcome quantization error during model prediction decoding. Experimental results demonstrate our approach surpasses classification quantization limits, achieving state-of-the-art performance. Our code and supplementary materials are available at https://github.com/linfeng-feng/ULD. |
