An evaluation row appears only where at least two of these models report the same benchmark with the same stated configuration, metric, unit and setup. Different evaluators stay named in each cell. Values are shown as reported: no unit conversion, no ranking.
SAVRN's Notes on wav2vec2-large-robust-24-ft-age-gender
This audEERING model estimates a speaker's age and whether the voice is a child, female or male, from raw audio. It is a 24-layer wav2vec2 at 318M parameters and draws about 2.5 million downloads a month.
The license is CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0, which rules out commercial use. Inferring age and gender from voice also raises privacy and fairness questions. Use it for research and aggregate analysis only; audEERING sells commercial licenses for its models.
