# Model for Age and Gender Recognition based on Wav2vec 2.0 (24 layers)

The model expects a raw audio signal as input and outputs predictions 
for age in a range of approximately 0...1 (0...100 years) 
and gender expressing the probababilty for being child, female, or male. 
In addition, it also provides the pooled states of the last transformer layer. 
The model was created by fine-tuning [
Wav2Vec2-Large-Robust](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-large-robust) 
on [aGender](https://paperswithcode.com/dataset/agender), 
[Mozilla Common Voice](https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/), 
[Timit](https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC93s1) and 
[Voxceleb 2](https://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/data/voxceleb/vox2.html).
For this version of the model we trained all 24 transformer layers.
An [ONNX](https://onnx.ai/") export of the model is available from 
[doi:10.5281/zenodo.7761387](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7761387). 
Further details are given in the associated [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.16962) 
and [tutorial](https://github.com/audeering/w2v2-age-gender-how-to).
