Boundary Density Likelihood for Direct Event-Time Supervision
Quick summary
arXiv:2408.12792v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Event detection turns long recordings into a sparse set of ranked timestamps. Yet many sequence models are trained for samplewise segmentation and only convert predicted states into events after training. We ask whether training directly for the evaluated output improves detection. Boundary Density Likelihood (BDL) assigns one unit of target mass to each annotated event, preserves that mass through smoothing and temporal downsampling, and uses a Poisson objective to estimate expected event mass in each output bin; local peaks become ranked de
