原文摘要

Recent progress on contrastive audio-language models can be attributed mainly to the scale and quality of their training data. Larger training datasets expose models to a broader range of sounds and corresponding audio captions. To exploit this, we collect 1.48 billion audio samples from academic datasets, internet datasets, web collections, Common Crawl, and YouTube, and process them with a multi-stage curation pipeline. Furthermore, we generate short and long captions for samples in our corpus that lack them. We use our dataset to study the scaling behavior of contrastive audio-language models based on the NaFlex architecture for the audio encoder. Our experiments identify trade-offs between model size and training data for a given compute budget. Moreover, our resulting models, CLAP2, outperform prior audio-text models of comparable size on the MAEB and HEAR benchmarks. We release our dataset, captions, model checkpoints, and code.
