Abstract: A system and a method for detecting anomalous sound are disclosed. The method includes receiving an audio signal from a sound source in a recording environment. The sound source and the recording environment are characterized by a set of attributes including a first attribute pertaining to a first attribute type and a second attribute pertaining to a second attribute type. A multi-head neural network is trained to extract from the received audio signal a first embedding vector indicative of the first attribute type and a second embedding vector indicative of the second attribute type. The first embedding vector is compared with a first set of embedding vectors to classify attributes of the first attribute type and the second embedding vector is compared with a second set of embedding vectors to classify attributes of the second attribute type, to determine a result of anomaly detection.
