LAION's CLAP (Contrastive Language-Audio Pretraining) model using the HTSAT (Hierarchical Token-Semantic Audio Transformer) encoder, fused with a text encoder to align audio and text in a shared embedding space. Analogous to CLIP for images, it enables zero-shot audio classification and retrieval using natural language descriptions without task-specific labeled audio data.
