What is a model?
A model is the output of a successful training job:- Trained on your annotated audio data
- Detects the artifact types you defined
- Produces timestamped detections with confidence scores
Model structure
Listing models
Python
Filter by status
Python
Model metrics
Models include evaluation metrics from training:Understanding metrics
Per-class metrics
Check metrics for each artifact type:Python
Managing models
Update name and description
Python
Activate/deactivate
Deactivate models you no longer use:Python
Delete (archive)
Deleting archives the model (soft delete):Python
Archived models cannot be used for inference but are retained for audit purposes.
Selecting models for inference
By metrics
Choose the model with best performance:Python
By artifact type
Choose based on per-class performance:Python
By recency
Use the most recently trained model:Python
Model versioning
Track model versions through naming:Python
Model comparison
Compare models trained on different data or configurations:Python
Best practices
Name models clearly
Include version and key characteristics:Document training details
Use the description field:Python
Keep old models
Don’t delete models immediately when training new ones:- Compare performance before switching
- Rollback if the new model underperforms
- Track improvements over time
Monitor in production
Track model performance over time:- Log detection rates
- Compare against human review
- Retrain when performance degrades
