MAESTRO Real - Multi-Annotator Estimated Strong Labels

The dataset was created for studying estimation of strong labels using crowdsourcing.

It contains 49 real-life audio files from 5 different acoustic scenes, and the annotation outcome. Annotation was performed using Amazon Mechanical Turk. Total duration of the dataset is 189 minutes and 52 seconds

Audio files are a subset from TUT Acoustic Scenes 2016 dataset, belonging to five acoustic scenes: cafe/restaurant, city center, grocery store, metro station and residential area. Each scene have 6 classes, some of them are common to all the scenes, resulting into 17 classes in total.

The dataset contains:

• audio: the 49 real-life recordings, each from 3 to 5 min long.
• soft labels: estimated strong labels from the crowdsourced data, values between 0 and 1 indicates the uncertainty of the annotators.
