DHAuDS: A Dynamic and Heterogeneous Audio Benchmark for Test-Time Adaptation

Existing Test-time Adaptation (TTA) studies rely heavily on static and homogeneous corruption protocols, such as ImageNet-C and CIFAR-10-C/100-C, leading to inconsistent evaluation settings and potentially inflated robustness estimates that are compared with real-world situations. TTA lacks a standardized evaluation infrastructure capable of modeling realistic heterogeneous acoustic degradation. We introduce DHAuDS, a standardized benchmark suite for evaluating audio classification TTA robustness under dynamic corruption severity and heterogeneous noise mixtures. Rather than proposing a new TTA algorithm, DHAuDS focuses on exposing robustness limitations that remain hidden under conventional fixed-noise evaluation protocols.
