Dataset Card for AudioSet

Dataset Details

This repository contains the balanced training set and evaluation set of the AudioSet data. The YouTube videos were downloaded in March 2023, so not all of the original audios are available.

The distribuion of audio clips is as follows. In parentheses is the dict key used for HugginFace datasets:

  • bal_train (train): 18685 audio clips out of 22160 originally.
  • eval (test): 17142 audio clips out of 20371 originally.

You can use the datasets library to load this dataset, in which case the raw audio will be returned along with a sequence of one or more labels. Note that the raw audio is returned without further processing, so you will need to decode and possibly downsample the audio for model training.

Example instance from the train subset:

{
 'video_id': '--PJHxphWEs',
 'audio': {
  'path': 'audio/bal_train/--PJHxphWEs.flac',
  'array': array([-0.04364824, -0.05268681, -0.0568949 , ...,  0.11446512,
          0.14912748,  0.13409865]),
  'sampling_rate': 48000
 },
 'labels': ['/m/09x0r', '/t/dd00088'],
 'human_labels': ['Speech', 'Gush']
}

Most audio is sampled at 48 kHz 24 bit, but about 10% is sampled at 44.1 kHz 24 bit. Audio files are stored in the FLAC format.
