The proposed model exploits an attention module and separable convolutions to identify salient time-frequency patterns in audio data to discriminate between normal and anomalous sounds with reduced computational complexity. The approach is validated through extensive experiments using the Task 2 dataset of the DCASE 2020 challenge. Results demonstrate superior performance in terms of anomaly detection accuracy while having fewer parameters than state-of-the-art methods.
