How to evaluate on this task

You can evaluate an embedding model on this dataset using the following code:

import mteb

task = mteb.get_task("ESC50_Zeroshot")
model = mteb.get_model(YOUR_MODEL)
mteb.evaluate(model, task)

To learn more about how to run models on mteb task check out the GitHub repository.
