contents Zero-shot audio classification aims to recognize and classify a sound class that the model has never seen during training. This paper presents a novel approach for zero-shot audio classification using automatically generated sound attribute descriptions. We propose a list of sound attributes and leverage large language model's domain knowledge to generate detailed attribute descriptions for each class. In contrast to previous works that primarily relied on class labels or simple descriptions, our method focuses on multi-dimensional innate auditory attributes, capturing different characteristics of sound classes. Additionally, we incorporate a contrastive learning approach to enhance zero-shot learning from textual labels. We validate the effectiveness of our method on VGGSound and AudioSet\footnote{The code is available at \url{https://www.github.com/wsntxxn/AttrEnhZsAc}.}. Our results demonstrate a substantial improvement in zero-shot classification accuracy. Ablation results show robust performance enhancement, regardless of the model architecture.
