Evaluation of audio retrieval performance using the ESC dataset, typically measured by ranking metrics such as Recall@1.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Audio Retrieval |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | ESC |
| Metric | Recall@1 |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 6 of 6 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Recall@1](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/audio-retrieval-on-esc.md?metric=Recall%401>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
