🎵 New task: Zero-shot audio classification

The task of classifying audio into classes that are unseen during training. See here for more information.

Example: Perform zero-shot audio classification with Xenova/clap-htsat-unfused.

import { pipeline } from '@xenova/transformers';

// Create a zero-shot audio classification pipeline
const classifier = await pipeline('zero-shot-audio-classification', 'Xenova/clap-htsat-unfused');

const audio = 'https://huggingface.co/datasets/Xenova/transformers.js-docs/resolve/main/dog_barking.wav';
const candidate_labels = ['dog', 'vaccum cleaner'];
const scores = await classifier(audio, candidate_labels);
// [
//   { score: 0.9993992447853088, label: 'dog' },
//   { score: 0.0006007603369653225, label: 'vaccum cleaner' }
// ]

💻 New architectures: CLAP, Audio Spectrogram Transformer, ConvNeXT, and ConvNeXT-v2

We added support for 4 new architectures, bringing the total up to 65!

1. CLAP for zero-shot audio classification, text embeddings, and audio embeddings (https://github.com/xenova/transformers.js/pull/427). See here for the list of available models.

   • Zero-shot audio classification (same as above)

   • Text embeddings with Xenova/clap-htsat-unfused:

     import { AutoTokenizer, ClapTextModelWithProjection } from '@xenova/transformers';
     
     // Load tokenizer and text model
     const tokenizer = await AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('Xenova/clap-htsat-unfused');
     const text_model = await ClapTextModelWithProjection.from_pretrained('Xenova/clap-htsat-unfused');
     
     // Run tokenization
     const texts = ['a sound of a cat', 'a sound of a dog'];
     const text_inputs = tokenizer(texts, { padding: true, truncation: true });
     
     // Compute embeddings
     const { text_embeds } = await text_model(text_inputs);
     // Tensor {
     //   dims: [ 2, 512 ],
     //   type: 'float32',
     //   data: Float32Array(1024) [ ... ],
     //   size: 1024
     // }
     

   • Audio embeddings with Xenova/clap-htsat-unfused:

     import { AutoProcessor, ClapAudioModelWithProjection, read_audio } from '@xenova/transformers';
     
     // Load processor and audio model
     const processor = await AutoProcessor.from_pretrained('Xenova/clap-htsat-unfused');
     const audio_model = await ClapAudioModelWithProjection.from_pretrained('Xenova/clap-htsat-unfused');
     
     // Read audio and run processor
     const audio = await read_audio('https://huggingface.co/datasets/Xenova/transformers.js-docs/resolve/main/cat_meow.wav');
     const audio_inputs = await processor(audio);
     
     // Compute embeddings
     const { audio_embeds } = await audio_model(audio_inputs);
     // Tensor {
     //   dims: [ 1, 512 ],
     //   type: 'float32',
     //   data: Float32Array(512) [ ... ],
     //   size: 512
     // }
     

2. Audio Spectrogram Transformer for audio classification (https://github.com/xenova/transformers.js/pull/427). See here for the list of available models.

   import { pipeline } from '@xenova/transformers';
   
   // Create an audio classification pipeline
   const classifier = await pipeline('audio-classification', 'Xenova/ast-finetuned-audioset-10-10-0.4593');
   
   // Predict class
   const url = 'https://huggingface.co/datasets/Xenova/transformers.js-docs/resolve/main/cat_meow.wav';
   const output = await classifier(url, { topk: 4 });
   // [
   //   { label: 'Meow', score: 0.5617874264717102 },
   //   { label: 'Cat', score: 0.22365376353263855 },
   //   { label: 'Domestic animals, pets', score: 0.1141069084405899 },
   //   { label: 'Animal', score: 0.08985692262649536 },
   // ]
   

3. ConvNeXT for image classification (https://github.com/xenova/transformers.js/pull/428). See here for the list of available models.

   import { pipeline } from '@xenova/transformers';
   
   // Create image classification pipeline
   const classifier = await pipeline('image-classification', 'Xenova/convnext-tiny-224');
   
   // Classify an image
   const url = 'https://huggingface.co/datasets/Xenova/transformers.js-docs/resolve/main/tiger.jpg';
   const output = await classifier(url);
   // [{ label: 'tiger, Panthera tigris', score: 0.6153212785720825 }]
   

4. ConvNeXT-v2 for image classification (https://github.com/xenova/transformers.js/pull/428). See here for the list of available models.

   import { pipeline } from '@xenova/transformers';
   
   // Create image classification pipeline
   const classifier = await pipeline('image-classification', 'Xenova/convnextv2-atto-1k-224');
   
   // Classify an image
   const url = 'https://huggingface.co/datasets/Xenova/transformers.js-docs/resolve/main/tiger.jpg';
   const output = await classifier(url);
   // [{ label: 'tiger, Panthera tigris', score: 0.6391205191612244 }]
