| # AudioSet-Strong-10 |
|
|
| A ten-class, strong-label, 10-second-clip subset of **AudioSet-Strong**, with |
| clip-relative event onsets and offsets. Built for streaming / bounded-latency |
| sound event detection, where you need per-event times rather than clip tags. |
|
|
| ## Classes |
|
|
| | Class | AudioSet MID | |
| |---|---| |
| | Alarm | `/m/07pp_mv` | |
| | Bark | `/m/05tny_` | |
| | Cough | `/m/01b_21` | |
| | Explosion | `/m/014zdl` | |
| | Gunshot | `/m/032s66` | |
| | Laughter | `/m/01j3sz` | |
| | Screaming | `/m/03qc9zr` | |
| | Vehicle horn | `/m/0912c9` | |
| | Whispering | `/m/02rtxlg` | |
| | Whistling | `/m/01w250` | |
|
|
| The official strong annotations contain **15,052 train** and **2,217 eval** |
| unique 10-second clips for these ten classes. |
|
|
| ## Coverage in this release |
|
|
| | Split | Official clips | In this release | Coverage | |
| |---|---:|---:|---:| |
| | train | 15,052 | 13,651 | 90.7% | |
| | eval | 2,217 | 1,888 | 85.2% | |
| | **total** | **17,269** | **15,539** | **90.0%** | |
|
|
| 35,183 clip-relative event rows in total. Every clip has at least one event. |
| `missing.tsv` lists the 1,730 segment ids that could not be retrieved from |
| YouTube or from the mirror (the underlying videos are deleted). |
|
|
| Event rows per class (train / eval): |

| audio/train/<ytid>_<start_ms>.wav 16 kHz mono PCM16, 10 s |

| ``` |
|
|
| `<ytid>_<start_ms>` is the official AudioSet `segment_id`: the YouTube id and |
| the start of the 10-second window in milliseconds. `onset`/`offset` are seconds |
| **inside the clip** (0-10), so a row is directly usable as a strong label. |
|
|
| One clip can have several rows (several labelled events). Every clip has at |
| least one event from the ten classes above; other AudioSet classes that occur |
| in the same window are not annotated here. |
|
|
| ## Provenance and completeness |
|
|
| 1. Segment ids, labels and event times come from the official |
| `audioset_train_strong.tsv` / `audioset_eval_strong.tsv` |
| (`storage.googleapis.com/us_audioset`), filtered to the ten MIDs. |
| 2. Audio is the 10-second window containing the labelled event, downloaded |
| from YouTube with `yt-dlp` and resampled to 16 kHz mono. |
| 3. Clips whose YouTube video is deleted are recovered from the public |
| `CLAPv2/audioset_strong` mirror (same official windows). Annotation times |
| still come from the official TSVs; the mirror only supplies audio bytes. |
| Harvested clips were cross-checked against the mirror's own event list |
| (zero label mismatches). |
|
|
| YouTube attrition is real: a share of the official videos is permanently |
| unavailable. `missing.tsv` lists the segment ids that could not be obtained |
| from either source at build time. Coverage is reported in the dataset card |
| table below and should be re-checked before any comparison with published |
| numbers on the complete strong set. |
