1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The combination of deep-learning and IoT plays a significant role in modern smart solutions, providing the capability of handling task-specific real-time offline operations with improved accuracy and minimised resource consumption. This study provides a novel hardware-aware neural architecture search approach called ESC-NAS, to design and develop deep convolutional neural network architectures specifically tailored for handling raw audio inputs in environmental sound classification applications under limited computational resources. The ESC-NAS process consists of a novel cell-based neural architecture search space built with 2D convolution, batch normalization, and max pooling layers, and capable of extracting features from raw audio. A black-box Bayesian optimization search strategy explores the search space and the resulting model architectures are evaluated through hardware simulation. The models obtained from the ESC-NAS process achieved the optimal trade-off between model performance and resource consumption compared to the existing literature. The ESC-NAS models achieved accuracies of 85.78%, 81.25%, 96.25%, and 81.0% for the FSC22, UrbanSound8K, ESC-10, and ESC-50 datasets, respectively, with optimal model sizes and parameter counts for edge deployment.
