Audio Contrastive based Fine-tuning
share
Audio classification plays a crucial role in speech and sound processing tasks with a wide range of applications. There still remains a challenge of striking the right balance between fitting the model to the training data (avoiding overfitting) and enabling it to generalise well to a new domain. Leveraging the transferability of contrastive learning, we introduce Audio Contrastive-based Fine-tuning (AudioConFit), an efficient approach characterised by robust generalisability. Empirical experiments on a variety of audio classification tasks demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our approach, which achieves state-of-the-art results in various settings.
