contents Weakly Supervised Sound Event Detection (WSSED), which relies on audio tags without precise onset and offset times, has become prevalent due to the scarcity of strongly labeled data that includes exact temporal boundaries for events. This study introduces Frame-level Pseudo Strong Labeling (FPSL) to overcome the lack of temporal information in WSSED by generating pseudo strong labels from frame-level predictions. This enhances temporal localization during training and addresses the limitations of clip-wise weak supervision. We validate our approach across three benchmark datasets (DCASE2017 Task 4, DCASE2018 Task 4, and UrbanSED) and demonstrate significant improvements in key metrics such as the Polyphonic Sound Detection Scores (PSDS), event-based F1 scores, and intersection-based F1 scores. For example, Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks (CRNNs) trained with FPSL outperform baseline models by 4.9% in PSDS1 on DCASE2017, 7.6% on DCASE2018, and 1.8% on UrbanSED, confirming the effectiveness of our method in enhancing model performance.
