BirdVox-ANAFCC: A dataset for American Northeast Avian Flight Call Classification
===============================================================
Version 2.0, February 2022.

https://wp.nyu.edu/birdvox


Description
---------------

BirdVox-ANAFCC is a dataset of short audio waveforms, each of them containing a flight call from one of 14 birds of North America: four American sparrows, one cardinal, two thrushes, and seven New World warblers.
* American Tree Sparrow (ATSP)
* Chipping Sparrow (CHSP)
* Savannah Sparrow (SAVS)
* White-throated Sparrow (WTSP)
* Red-breasted Grosbeak (RBGR)
* Gray-cheeked Thrush (GCTH)
* Swainson's Thrush (SWTH)
* American Redstart (AMRE)
* Bay-breasted Warbler (BBWA)
* Black-throated Blue Warbler (BTBW)
* Canada Warbler (CAWA)
* Common Yellowthroat (COYE)
* Mourning Warbler (MOWA)
* Ovenbird (OVEN)

It also contains other sounds which are often confused for one of the species above. These "confounding factors" encompass flight calls from other species of birds, vocalizations from non-avian animals, as well as some machine beeps.

BirdVox-ANAFCC results from an aggregation of various smaller datasets, integrated under a common taxonomy. For more details on this taxonomy, we refer the reader to [1]:

[1] Cramer, Lostanlen, Salamon, Farnsworth, Bello. Chirping up the right tree: Incorporating biological taxonomies into deep bioacoustic classifiers. Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2020.

The second version of the BirdVox-ANAFCC dataset (v2.0) contains flight calls from the BirdVox-full-night dataset. These flight calls were present in the ICASSP 2020 benchmark but did not appear in the initial release of BirdVox-ANAFCC.


Data Files
------------
BirdVox-ANAFCC contains the recordings as HDF5 files, sampled at 22,050 Hz, with a single channel (mono). Each HDF5 file contains flight call vocalizations of a particular species. The name of each HDF5 file follows the format: `<data-source>_<taxonomy-code>_original.h5`. The name of the HDF5 dataset in each file is "waveforms", with the corresponding key for each audio recording varying in format depending on the data source.

 

Metadata Files
---------------
`taxonomy.yaml` details the three-level taxonomy structure used in this dataset, reflected in three-number-codes which largely follow "<family>.<order>.<species>". Additionally, at any level of the taxonomy, the numeric code "0" is reserved for "other" and the code "X" refers to unknown. For example, 1.1.0 corresponds to an American Sparrow with a species outside of our scope of interest, and 1.1.X corresponds to an American Sparrow of unknown species. At the top level (family), the "other" codes (0.\*.\*) deviate from the family-order-species in order to capture a variety of other out-of-scope sounds, including anthropophony, non-avian biophony, and biophony of avians outside of the scope of interest.
