AVP-LVT Vocal Percussion Dataset

<p>The <strong>AVP-LVT dataset</strong> contains vocal percussion utterances from&nbsp;two publicly available datasets: the personal subset of the&nbsp;<a href="https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3356590.3356844">Amateur Vocal Percussion (AVP) dataset</a> and the third subset of the <a href="https://repositorio-aberto.up.pt/handle/10216/105309">Live Vocalised Transcription (LVT) dataset</a>. They contain vocal percussion sounds from a total of 48 participants with little or no&nbsp;experience in beatboxing.</p> <p>The <strong>AVP dataset</strong>&nbsp;contains a total of 4873 vocal percussion sound events&nbsp;recorded by 28 participants and with four annotated labels: kick drum, snare drum, closed hi-hat, and opened hi-hat. For each participant,&nbsp;four files contain repetitions of vocal percussion sounds of the same class and one&nbsp;file corresponds&nbsp;to a freestyle improvisation with these. The <strong>LVT dataset</strong>&nbsp;contains a total of 841 vocal percussion sound events recorded by 20 participants with three annotated labels: kick drum, snare drum, and closed hi-hat. For each participant, one file contains a&nbsp;predictable beatbox-style phrase repeated four times and another file contained a&nbsp;freestyle improvisation with the sounds used in the phrase file.</p> <p>This dataset expands the original annotations of both datasets (onsets and instrument labels)&nbsp;so as to include <em>syllabic annotations</em> of vocal percussion sounds. These annotations are composed of a first <em>onset phoneme</em>, usually plosive or fricative, and a second <em>coda phoeneme</em>, usually a vowel, a breath sound (&quot;h&quot;), or silence (&quot;x&quot;). These phonemes were annotated&nbsp;following notation conventions from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).</p> <p>The files included here are the recordings and the annotations of the AVP dataset and the annotations of the LVT dataset. To incorporate the audio files from the&nbsp;LVT dataset, please follow the steps outlined in the file entitled &quot;Instructions_to_build_AVP-LVT_Dataset.rtf&quot;. This&nbsp;file also contains information about the train-evaluation split for research purposes.</p>
