# Models for AudioSet: A Large Scale Dataset of Audio Events

This repository provides models and supporting code associated with
[AudioSet](http://g.co/audioset), a dataset of over 2 million human-labeled
10-second YouTube video soundtracks, with labels taken from an ontology of
more than 600 audio event classes.

AudioSet was
[released](https://research.googleblog.com/2017/03/announcing-audioset-dataset-for-audio.html)
in March 2017 by Google's Sound Understanding team to provide a common
large-scale evaluation task for audio event detection as well as a starting
point for a comprehensive vocabulary of sound events.

For more details about AudioSet and the various models we have trained, please
visit the [AudioSet website](http://g.co/audioset) and read our papers:

If you use any of our pre-trained models in your published research, we ask that
you cite [CNN Architectures for Large-Scale Audio Classification](https://research.google.com/pubs/pub45611.html).
If you use the AudioSet dataset or the released embeddings of AudioSet segments,
please cite

For technical problems with the released model and code, please open an issue on
the [tensorflow/models issue tracker](https://github.com/tensorflow/models/issues)
and __*assign to @plakal and @dpwe*__. Please note that because the issue tracker
is shared across all models released by Google, we won't be notified about an
issue unless you explicitly @-mention us (@plakal and @dpwe) or assign the issue
to us.
