  • We propose AuralNet, a novel 3D multi-source binaural sound source localization approach that localizes overlapping sources in both azimuth and elevation without prior knowledge of the number of sources. AuralNet employs a gated coarse-tofine architecture, combining a coarse classification stage with a fine-grained regression stage, allowing for flexible spatial resolution through sector partitioning. The model incorporates a multi-head self-attention mechanism to capture spatial cues in binaural signals, enhancing robustness in noisy-reverberant environments. A masked multi-task loss function is designed to jointly optimize sound detection, azimuth, and elevation estimation. Extensive experiments in noisy-reverberant conditions demonstrate the superiority of AuralNet over recent methods
