(generate new mixtures usingScaper[1])Reproduce the soundscapes made for DCASE task 4.Long DescriptionThere are 3 different datasets:Recorded soundscapes (a.k.a., real).Synthetic soundbank + DCASE task 4 soundscapes:DESED_syntheticPublic evaluation (recorded soundscapes) (a.k.a., Youtube in DCASE19, Vimeo is not available):DESED public evalAll these datasets contain an "audio" folder associated with a "metadata" folder
so they can all be grouped together by merging themDESED dataset is for now composed of 10 event classes in domestic environment.
The soundbank can include annotated data outside of the 10 classes to allow the creation of more realistic soundscapes.Overview:Recorded soundscapes:Verified and unverfied subset ofAudioset.Unlabel_in_domain data: Unverified data have their label discarded:14412 files.Weakly labeled data: training data have their labels verified at the clip level:1578 files.Validation data have their labels with time boundaries (strong labels):1168 files.Evaluation public files: Youtube files692 filesSoundbank:Background files are extracted from SINS[2], TUT[7], MUSAN[3]or Youtube and have been selected because they
contain a very low amount of our sound event classes.Foreground files are extracted from Freesound[4][5]and manually verified to check the quality
and segmented to remove silences.Mixtures are described inGenerating new synthetic soundscapesbelow.Soundbank:Training:2060 background files(SINS) and1009 foreground files(Freesound).Eval:12(Freesound) +5(Youtube)background filesand314 foreground files(Freesound).DCASE 2019It uses synthetic soundbank, recorded soundscapes, and public evaluation data (a.k.a., Youtube eval during DCASE19).If you want more information about DCASE19 dataset visitDCASE 2019 task 4 web pageIf you only want to download DCASE19 files, go todcase2019 task 4.Example of DESED dataset in 2019SoundbankFAQI have a problem downloading the recorded soundscapes. How do I do ?If you're in a country with youtube restrictions, you can try to use a VPN and the --proxy option from youtube-dl.
You can also try to upgrade youtube-dl since it is regularly updated.
Finally, if you succeeded to download most of the files, you can send your missing files (missing_files_XXX.tsv)by mailtoFrancesca Ronchini,Romain Serizeland/or Nicolas Turpault.I have a problem with SINS download. How do I do ?Why don't we have a single dataset repository ?The synthetic sounbank or recorded soundscapes can be used independently for different purposes.
For example, one can create new synthetic soundscapes and evaluate his system on synthetic data only to focus on a specific problem.Why audio is not always included in the repository ?Because of licenses issues. (Example of SINS in the training soundbank)
We do not have the problem for evaluation data because we try to overcome the problem after running into this issue.How do I evaluate and compare my system with other methods using this dataset ?Inthis paperyou can refer to the column 'Youtube' and for further study, you can

the duration of the soundscapes created + Add possibility to use only background from certain labels (i.e: sins or tut).18th March 2020, v.1.1.7, update DESED_synth_dcase20_train_jams.tar of DESED_synth. They use pitch shifting,
while the others didn't. These are the final JAMS used for dcase2020 baseline. Also commenting reverb since not used
for the baseline.LicensesThe python code is publicly available under the MIT license, see the LICENSE file.
