contents Deep learning-based Sound Event Localization and Detection (SELD) systems degrade significantly on real-world, long-tailed datasets. Standard regression losses bias learning toward frequent classes, causing rare events to be systematically under-recognized. To address this challenge, we introduce MAGENTA (Magnitude And Geometry-ENhanced Training Approach), a unified loss function that counteracts this bias within a physically interpretable vector space. MAGENTA geometrically decomposes the regression error into radial and angular components, enabling targeted, rarity-aware penalties and strengthened directional modeling. Empirically, MAGENTA substantially improves SELD performance on imbalanced real-world data, providing a principled foundation for a new class of geometry-aware SELD objectives.
