ESC-50

AudioSet replaced ESC-50 as the primary audio classification benchmark — 527 classes vs 50, 2M clips vs 2K, hierarchical ontology. Scale and coverage made it the ImageNet analogue for audio. ESC-50 became a probe task for pretrained representations.

Clotho

Clotho shifted the evaluation task from classification (what sounds are here?) to captioning (describe these sounds in a sentence). A scope shift enabled by the growing capability of audio encoders trained on AudioSet.
