Description

I'm new here, I run the method get_audio_embedding_from_filelist with model music_audioset_epoch_15_esc_90.14.pt and get the audio embeddings just like

[[-4.639852792024612427e-02, -9.935184381902217865e-03, ...]]

I approximately know it represent the feature of the input audio somehow, while I don't know how to use it.
Could someone tell me what is the audio embedding that I get in format of float? And whether this audio embedding is common to other models? And how should I use it?

(PS: I'm really interested in this work while it seems like I lack some necessary background knowledge, so it would be better if someone could recommend me some relevant materials to get me into the field. Thank you so much ❤)

Research direction

Start with get_audio_embedding_from_filelist and the model music_audioset_epoch_15_esc_90.14.pt to establish what the returned float vector represents. Review the repository's usage guidance and determine how to explain model specificity, interpretation, and downstream use. Done means the issue's questions are answered with a clear, reproducible usage explanation and relevant learning references.
