Improving Robustness of Spectrogram Classifiers with Neural Stochastic Differential Equations

Joel Brogan, Olivera Kotevska, Anibely Torres, Sumit Jha, Mark Adams

Signal analysis and classification is fraught with high levels of noise and perturbation. Computer-vision-based deep learning models applied to spectrograms have proven useful in the field of signal classification and detection; however, these methods aren't designed to handle the low signal-to-noise ratios inherent within non-vision signal processing tasks. While they are powerful, they are currently not the method of choice in the inherently noisy and dynamic critical infrastructure domain, such as smart-grid sensing, anomaly detection, and non-intrusive load monitoring.
