A beekeeper records hive audio. For some clips an apiarist has already marked swarm or calm. A new intern says those marks are just the file type, such as MP3 versus WAV. What is the label on each example?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think of a label like the sticky note on the jar, not the jar itself. Swarm or calm is the known answer on that clip. MP3 versus WAV, the microphone brand, and the clip length are just how the file was stored, not what the model is supposed to learn.
Full Explanation
A label is the known target attached to an example, here swarm or calm. File format, microphone brand, and clip length are properties of the recording, not the learning target. Confusing a label with a file type mixes the supervision signal with storage details and would send the intern looking for the wrong field.
