This work introduces the key operating principles for autrainer, our new deep learning training framework for computer audition tasks. autrainer is a PyTorch-based toolkit that allows for rapid, reproducible, and easily extensible training on a variety of different computer audition tasks. Concretely, autrainer offers low-code training and supports a wide range of neural networks as well as preprocessing routines. In this work, we present an overview of its inner workings and key capabilities.
