# Self Supervised Audio Spectrogram Transformer (pretrained on AudioSet/Librispeech)
Self Supervised Audio Spectrogram Transformer (SSAST) model with uninitialized classifier head. It was introduced in the paper [SSAST: Self-Supervised Audio Spectrogram Transformer](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.09784) by Gong et al. and first released in [this repository](https://github.com/YuanGongND/ssast).
Disclaimer: The team releasing Audio Spectrogram Transformer did not write a model card for this model.
## Model description
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.
## Usage
The model is pretrained on a massive amount of audio. Please finetune the classifier head before use, as it comes uninitialized.
