Echoic log-surprise: A multi-scale scheme for acoustic saliency detection

•A new model to compute acoustic saliency based on Bayesian log-surprise is proposed.•Our model implements a multi-scale scheme, inspired by Acoustic Sensory Memory.•We validated our proposal using Acoustic Event Detection datasets.•Performance compared favorably against state-of-the-art saliency al...
