Vocal Imitation Set v1.0 : Thousands of vocal imitations of hundreds of sounds from the AudioSet ontology

The VocalImitationSet is a collection of crowd-sourced vocal imitations of a large set of diverse sounds collected from Freesound (https://freesound.org/), which were curated based on Google's AudioSet ontology (https://research.google.com/audioset/). We expect that this dataset will help research communities obtain a better understanding of human's vocal imitation and build a machine understand the imitations as humans do.

See https://github.com/interactiveaudiolab/VocalImitationSet for the latest updates to this dataset.
