| 7 | # Audio Spectrogram Transformer (fine-tuned on AudioSet) |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Audio Spectrogram Transformer (AST) model fine-tuned on AudioSet. It was introduced in the paper [AST: Audio Spectrogram Transformer](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.01778) by Gong et al. and first released in [this repository](https://github.com/YuanGongND/ast). |

| 11 | Disclaimer: The team releasing Audio Spectrogram Transformer did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team. |

| 13 | ## Model description |
| 14 | |
| 15 | The Audio Spectrogram Transformer is equivalent to [ViT](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/vit), but applied on audio. Audio is first turned into an image (as a spectrogram), after which a Vision Transformer is applied. The model gets state-of-the-art results on several audio classification benchmarks. |

| 17 | ## Usage |
| 18 | |
| 19 | You can use the raw model for classifying audio into one of the AudioSet classes. See the [documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/audio-spectrogram-transformer#transformers.ASTForAudioClassification.forward.example) for more info. |
