# Feature Extractor

A feature extractor is in charge of preparing input features for a multi-modal model. This includes feature extraction
from sequences, *e.g.*, pre-processing audio files to Log-Mel Spectrogram features, feature extraction from images
*e.g.* cropping image image files, but also padding, normalization, and conversion to Numpy, PyTorch, and TensorFlow
tensors.
