DCASE 2022 Challenge Task 6B: Language-Based Audio Retrieval

In this report, we introduce the task setup and the baseline system for the sub-task B of the DCASE 2022 Challenge Task 6: language-based audio retrieval subtask. For this subtask, the Clotho v2 dataset is utilized as the development dataset, and an additional dataset consisting of 1,000 audio-caption pairs as the evaluation dataset. We train the baseline system with the development dataset, and evaluate it on the evaluation dataset to provide some initial results for this subtask.
