title: DCASE 2023 Challenge Task 2 Evaluation Dataset

description: <strong>Description</strong> This dataset is the "evaluation dataset" for the DCASE 2023 Challenge Task 2 "First-Shot Unsupervised Anomalous Sound Detection for Machine Condition Monitoring". The data consists of the normal/anomalous operating sounds of seven types of real/toy machines. Each recording is a single-channel audio that includes both a machine's operating sound and environmental noise. The duration of recordings varies from 6 to 18 sec, depending on the machine type. The following seven types of real/toy machines are used: Vacuum ToyTank ToyNscale ToyDrone bandsaw grinder shaker <strong>Definition</strong> We first define key terms in this task: "machine type," "section," "source domain," "target domain," and "attributes.". "Machine type" indicates the type of machine, which in the development dataset is one of seven: fan, gearbox, bearing, slide rail, valve, ToyCar, and ToyTrain. A section is defined as a subset of the dataset for calculating performance metrics. The source domain is the domain under which most of the training data and some of the test data were recorded, and the target domain is a different set of domains under which some of the training data and some of the test data were recorded. There are differences between the source and target domains in terms of operating speed, machine load, viscosity, heating temperature, type of environmental noise, signal-to-noise ratio, etc. Attributes are parameters that define states of machines or types of noise. <strong>Dataset</strong> This dataset consists of seven machine types. For each machine type, one section is provided, and the section is a complete set of training and test data. For each section, this dataset provides (i) 990 clips of normal sounds in the source domain for training, (ii) ten clips of normal sounds in the target domain for training. The source/target domain of each sample is provided. Additionally, the attributes of each sample in the training and test data are provided in the file names and attribute csv files. <strong>Recording procedure</strong> Normal/anomalous operating sounds of machines and its related equipment are recorded. Anomalous sounds were collected by deliberately damaging target machines. For simplifying the task, we use only the first channel of multi-channel recordings; all recordings are regarded as single-channel recordings of a fixed microphone. We mixed a target machine sound with environmental noise, and only noisy recordings are provided as training/test data. The environmental noise samples were recorded in several real factory environments. We will publish papers on the dataset to explain the details of the recording procedure by the submission deadline. <strong>Directory structure</strong> - /dev_data - /raw<br> - /Vacuum<br> - /test <br> - /section_00_0001.wav <br> - ... <br> - /section_00_0200.wav <br> - /ToyTank (The other machine types have the same directory structure as Vacuum.) <br> - /ToyNscale<br> - /ToyDrone<br> - /bandsaw<br> - /grinder<br> - /shaker <strong>Condition of use</strong> This dataset was created jointly by <strong>Hitachi, Ltd. </strong>and <strong>NTT Corporation</strong> and is available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license. <strong>Citation</strong> If you use this dataset, please cite all the following papers.
