This paper details our approach to Task 3 of the DCASE’19 Challenge, namely sound event localization and detection (SELD). Our system is based on multi-channel convolutional neural networks (CNNs), combined with data augmentation and ensembling. Specifically, it follows a hierarchical approach that first determines adaptive thresholds for the multi-label sound event detection (SED) problem, based on a CNN operating on spectrograms over longduration windows. It then exploits the derived thresholds in an ensemble of CNNs operating on raw waveforms over shorter-duration sliding windows to provide event segmentation and labeling. Finally, it employs event localization CNNs to yield direction-ofarrival (DOA) source estimates of the detected sound events. The system is developed and evaluated on the microphone-array set of Task 3. Compared to the baseline of the Challenge organizers, on the development set it achieves relative improvements of 12% in SED error, 2% in F-score, 36% in DOA error, and 3% in the combined SELD metric, but trails significantly in frame-recall, whereas on the evaluation set it achieves relative improvements of 3% in SED, 51% in DOA, and 4% in SELD errors. Overall though, the system lags significantly behind the best Task 3 submission, achieving a combined SELD error of 0.2033 against 0.044 of the latter.
