Systems and methods for detecting, classifying, and correcting acoustic (waveform) events are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining, by a computing system, audio data from a source. The method includes accessing, by the computing system, data indicative of a machine-learned acoustic detection model. The method includes inputting, by the computing system, the audio data from the source into the machine-learned acoustic detection model. The method includes obtaining, by the computing system, an output from the machine-learned acoustic detection model. The output is indicative of an acoustic event associated with the source. The method includes providing, by the computing system, data indicative of a notification to a user device. The notification indicates the acoustic event and response(s) for selection by a user. The computing system, via a continuously learned hierarchical process, may initiate autonomous actions in an effort to halt or otherwise modify the acoustic event.
