Task and dataset description can be found in: http://sabiod.univ-tln.fr/nips4b/challenge1.html Donwload zip file of dataset and weak annotations at: http://sabiod.univ-tln.fr/nips4b/media/birds/NIPS4B_BIRD_CHALLENGE_TRAIN_TEST_WAV.tar.gz Annotation Files ------------ Transcriptions were produced using Sonic Visualiser: https://www.sonicvisualiser.org/ by an experienced birdwatcher, Hanna Pamula. Number of missing annotations: 13 (6 of these files contained sounds which could not be unambiguously labelled and the rest 7 of them only included insects) The original (weak) labels provided during the NIPS4B 2013 challenge were used for guidance. However, some files were judged to have a slightly different set of species present than was given in the original metadata. Extra Unknown label was added to the dataset for the vocalisations that couldn't be classified to a specific species. Also, extra Human label was added for a few recordings that had human sounds present in them.
