Subject: Re: [AUDITORY] Environmental sound database for memory studies From: Eduardo Fonseca <eduardo.fonseca@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 8 Aug 2020 16:52:14 +0200--0000000000009b740905ac5eded7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hi Nadia, all Someone mentioned Freesound as an option. We've been putting efforts in curating audio datasets from Freesound. The last dataset we released is FSDKaggle2019, containing 29,266 audio files annotated with 80 labels of the AudioSet Ontology. It has two sources of data: - a manually labeled portion taken from Freesound (you may probably be more interested in this portion) - a portion with noisy labels taken from soundtracks from Flickr videos (the dataset was originally used to run a machine learning competition to study learning from noisy labels) You can download FSDKaggle2019 and inspect detailed information here: https://zenodo.org/record/3612637#.Xy64VxMzZTY Also, if you are interested, next month we'll release another dataset of 100h+ hours of manually labeled audio encompassing 200 classes of every day sounds (a superset of the manually labeled portion of FSDKaggle2019). Another option is the AudioSet <https://research.google.com/audioset/index.html> dataset, with a massive amount of data and classes. best, Eduardo -- Eduardo Fonseca Music Technology Group Universitat Pompeu Fabra -- On Thu, 6 Aug 2020 at 10:24, Kelly Jakubowski <kellyjakubowski@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Just to add briefly to Valeriy's quite comprehensive list: We ran a study > a little while back, including some participants from this list, to collect > emotion ratings from a set of environmental sounds for a project where we > needed particularly long sounds (20 seconds), as other work has typically > used stimuli around 1-6 seconds.
