MADS: A Multiview Acoustic Descriptor Set Beyond Standard Spectral Summaries

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 1, 2026 · UTC

Dominant audio classification pipelines rely either on compact handcrafted summaries or on fixed time-frequency frontends such as log-mel representations prior to deep modeling. While highly successful, these representations do not explicitly expose the physical dynamics of the underlying sound-generating event. We introduce MADS (Multi-view Acoustic Descriptor Set), a compact 19-dimensional physics-informed descriptor set de- signed to capture complementary spectral, temporal, mechanical, and stochastic structure in audio signals. Rather than treating sound only as a spectral pattern, MADS en
