In this paper, an approach based on Variational Bayesian Feature Saliency (VBFS) for robust audio type classification is proposed. VBFS aims at finding the most discriminative features in Gaussian Mixture Models based recognition systems. VBFS is applied to capture inter-type and intra-type feature saliency for different audio type (music, background noise, wide band speech, narrow band speech, etc.) in order to increase model generality that's always poor in non-speechmodels. We show that inferring saliency for different audio type improves classifications. Experiments are run on Broadcast news 1996-Hub4.
