An Open Dataset for Research on Audio Field Recording Archives: freefield1010

Authors: Stowell, Dan; Plumbley, Mark

AES Conference: 53rd International Conference: Semantic Audio · Paper P1-6 · January 2014

Abstract

We introduce a free and open dataset of 7690 audio clips sampled from the field-recording tag in the Freesound audio archive. The dataset is designed for use in research related to data mining in audio archives of field recordings / soundscapes. Audio is standardised, and audio and metadata are Creative Commons licensed. We describe the data preparation process, characterise the dataset descriptively, and illustrate its use through an auto-tagging experiment.
