In this paper, we propose a novel sound event detection (SED) method that incorporates a self-attention mechanism of the Transformer for a weakly-supervised learning scenario. The proposed method utilizes the Transformer encoder, which consists of multiple self-attention modules, allowing to take both local and global context information of the input feature sequence into account. Furthermore, inspired by the great success of BERT in the natural language processing field, the proposed method introduces a special tag token into the input sequence for weak label prediction, which enables the aggregation of the whole sequence information. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, we conduct the experimental evaluation using the DCASE2019 Task4 dataset. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the DCASE2019 Task4 baseline method, which is based on the convolutional recurrent neural network, and the self-attention mechanism effectively works for SED.
