Abstract
Tiny Machine Learning enables real-time, energy-efficient data processing directly on microcontrollers, making it ideal for Internet of Things sensor networks. This paper presents a compact TinyML pipeline for detecting anomalies in environmental sound within IoT sensor networks. Acoustic monitoring in IoT systems can enhance safety and context awareness, yet cloud-based processing introduces challenges related to latency, power usage, and privacy. Our pipeline addresses these issues by extracting Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients from sound signals and training a lightweight neural network classifier optimized for deployment on edge devices. The model was trained and evaluated using the UrbanSound8K dataset, achieving a test accuracy of 91% and balanced F1-scores of 0.91 across both normal and anomalous sound classes. These results demonstrate the feasibility and reliability of embedded acoustic anomaly detection for scalable and responsive IoT deployments.

The quantized model, optimized for deployment on microcontrollers via TensorFlow Lite Micro, achieved 91% accuracy and an F1-score of 0.91, with only minor drops in AUC and average precision.
This is a direct comparison of the quantized model's performance against the original model, with specific metrics provided.
partial
Table III shows that performance was consistent across both classes, with precision and recall values above 0.88.
This claim is directly supported by the class-wise evaluation metrics table.
