pip install -e .
In this case, all your changes in desed
folder will be taken into account
Use desed in other projects
Copying code from synthetic/code/
or real/code/

Description
There are 3 different datasets:
- Recorded soundscapes (a.k.a., real).
- Synthetic soundbank + DCASE task 4 soundscapes: DESED_synthetic
- Public evaluation (recorded soundscapes) (a.k.a., Youtube in DCASE19, Vimeo is not available): DESED public eval
All these datasets contain an "audio" folder associated with a "metadata" folder so they can all be grouped together by merging them
This repo allows you:
- Download the three datasets (different methods).
- Create new synthetic soundscapes from synthetic soundbank (generate new mixtures using Scaper [1]).
DESED dataset is for now composed of 10 event classes in domestic environment.
Overview:
-
Recorded soundscapes:
- Verified and unverfied subset of Audioset.
- Unlabel_in_domain data: Unverified data have their label discarded: 14412 files.
- Weakly labeled data: training data have their labels verified at the clip level: 1578 files.
- Validation data have their labels with time boundaries (strong labels): 1168 files.
- Evaluation public files: 692 Youtube files (to be released soon ...)
- Verified and unverfied subset of Audioset.
-
Synthetic soundbank:
- Background files are extracted from SINS [2], MUSAN [3] or Youtube and have been selected because they contain a very low amount of our sound event classes.
- Foreground files are extracted from Freesound [4][5] and manually verified to check the quality and segmented to remove silences.
- Mixtures are described in Generating new synthetic soundscapes below.
- Soundbank:
- Training: 2060 background files (SINS) and 1009 foreground files (Freesound).
- Eval: 12 (Freesound) + 5 (Youtube) background files and 314 foreground files (Freesound).
-
DCASE 2019
- It uses synthetic soundbank, recorded soundscapes, and public evaluation data (a.k.a., Youtube eval during DCASE19).
- If you want more information about DCASE19 dataset visit DCASE 2019 task 4 web page
- If you only want to download DCASE19 files, go to dcase2019 task 4.

Description of dcase 2019 and 2020
DESED is the full set in DCASE 2019 task 4 but only a subset of DCASE 2020 task 4 dataset (FUSS is the other part). The task is dealing on sound event detection using DESED, and on source separation using a dataset provided by Google. See DCASE 2020 task 4 web page for more info.
-
Recorded soundscapes
- Training: 1578 weakly labeled clips, 14412 unlabeled clips.
- Validation: 1168 strongly labeled clips.
- Public Evaluation: 692 Youtube files (reported as "eval youtube" in papers).
- Challenge Evaluation: Youtube and Vimeo files.
-
Synthetic 2019
-
Training: There are 2060 background files from SINS and 1009 foreground from Freesound. We generated 2045 10s files with a FBSNR between 6dB to 30dB.
-
Evaluation: There are 12 (Freesound) + 5 (Youtube) background files and 314 foreground files. Generating different subsets to test robustness against some parameters.
Taking a background sound and multiple foreground sounds and associating them in different conditions:
- Varying the foreground-background signal to noise ratio (FBSNR).
- Varying the onsets: Generating foreground sounds only at the beginning, middle or end of the 10 seconds.
- Using long 'foreground' event classes as background, and short events as foreground.
- Degrading the final 10s mixtures.
-
-
Synthetic 2020
- Training: There are 2060 background files from SINS and 1009 foreground from Freesound. We generated 2584 10s files with a FBSNR between 6dB to 30dB. Files are reverberated using room impulse responses (RIR) from FUSS dataset.
- Evaluation: There are 12 (Freesound) + 5 (Youtube) background files and 314 foreground files.
After running the script create_dcase2019_dataset.sh
, you should have a folder called dcase2019
.
After running the script create_dcase2020_dataset.sh
, you should have a folder called dataset
.
Organised in that way:

│ │ │ └── soundscapes
│ │ ├── unlabel_in_domain
│ │ └── weak
│ └── validation
└── metadata
├── eval
├── train
└── validation

FAQ
- Why don't we have a single dataset repository ?
The synthetic sounbank or recorded soundscapes can be used independently for different purposes. For example, one can create new synthetic soundscapes and evaluate his system on synthetic data only to focus on a specific problem.
- Why audio is not always included in the repository ?
Because of licenses issues. (Example of SINS in the training soundbank) We do not have the problem for evaluation data because we try to overcome the problem after running into this issue.
- I have a problem downloading the recorded soundscapes. How do I do ?
If you're in a country with youtube restrictions, you can try to use a VPN and the --proxy option from youtube-dl. You can also try to upgrade youtube-dl since it is regularly updated. Finally, if you succeeded to download most of the files, you can send the missing files as stated in the `real/README.md.
- How do I evaluate and compare my system with other methods using this dataset ?
In this paper you can refer to the column 'Youtube' and for further study, you can cite the DESED public evaluation set.

Important updates
- 7th December 2020, v1.2.2, ease the download of soundbank (with or without pre-split validation)
- 23th April 2020, v1.2.0, update the generation procedure (
add_fg_event_non_noff
) to use all parts of files longer than the duration of the soundscapes created + Add possibility to use only background from certain labels (i.e: sins or tut). - 18th March 2020, v.1.1.7, update DESED_synth_dcase20_train_jams.tar of DESED_synth. They use pitch shifting, while the others didn't. These are the final JAMS used for dcase2020 baseline. Also commenting reverb since not used for the baseline.
