This study explores using embedding rank as an unsupervised evaluation metric for general-purpose speech encoders trained via self-supervised learning (SSL). Traditionally, assessing the performance of these encoders is resource-intensive and requires labeled data from the downstream tasks. Inspired by the vision domain, where embedding rank has shown promise for evaluating image encoders without tuning on labeled downstream data, this work examines its applicability in the speech domain, consid
