Dataset Description

Datasets

We present the BirdSet benchmark that covers a comprehensive range of classification datasets in avian bioacoustics. We offer a static set of evaluation datasets and a varied collection of training datasets, enabling the application of diverse methodologies.

  • We assemble a training dataset for each test dataset that is a subset of a complete XC snapshot. We extract all recordings that have vocalizations of the bird species appearing in the test dataset.
  • We use the .ogg format for every recording and a sampling rate of 32 kHz.
  • Each sample in the training dataset is a recording may have more than one vocalization of the corresponding bird species.
  • Each recording in the training datasets has a unique recordist and the corresponding license from XC. We omit all recordings from XC that are CC-ND.
  • The bird species are translated to ebird_codes
  • Snapshot date of XC: 03/10/2024
Train
  • Exclusively using focal audio data from Xeno-Canto (XC) with quality ratings A, B, C and excluding all recordings that are CC-ND.
  • Each dataset is tailored for specific target species identified in the corresponding test soundscape files.
  • We transform the scientific names of the birds into the corresponding ebird_code label.
  • We offer detected events and corresponding cluster assignments to identify bird sounds in each recording.
  • We provide the full recordings from XC. These can generate multiple samples from a single instance.
Test_5s
  • Task: Multilabel ("ebird_code_multilabel")
  • Only soundscape data from Zenodo formatted acoording to the Kaggle evaluation scheme.
  • Each recording is segmented into 5-second intervals without overlaps.
  • This contains segments without any labels which results in a [0] vector.
Test
  • Task: Multiclass ("ebird_code")
  • Only soundscape data sourced from Zenodo.
  • We provide the full recording with the complete label set and specified bounding boxes.
  • This dataset excludes recordings that do not contain bird calls ("no_call").
