While the Transformer model excels in audio recognition, its dependence on vast amounts of data becomes restrictive in resource-limited settings. Addressing this, we introduce the Audio Spectrogram Convolution Attention (ASCA) based on CoAtNet, integrating a Transformer-convolution hybrid architecture, novel network design, and attention techniques, further augmented with data enhancement and regularization strategies. On the BirdCLEF2023 and AudioSet(Balanced), ASCA achieved accuracies of 81.2% and 35.1%, respectively, significantly outperforming competing methods. The unique structure of our model enriches output, enabling generalization across various audio detection tasks.
