Re-Upload
This repository is a re-upload of the FreeSound.org dataset as curated by LAION for the larger LAION-Audio-630k dataset, with the following changes:
- Limited columns to only the audio and basic metadata.
- Incorporated necessary information for licensing and attribution.
- Removed ambiguously licensed samples, amounting to around 1,000 total samples.
Dataset
LAION-Audio-630K is a large-scale audio-text dataset consisting of 633,526 pairs with the total duration of 4,325.39 hours. It contains audios of human activities, natural sounds and audio effects, consisting of 8 data sources (see the data source table below) from publicly available websites. We collect these datasets by downloading audios and relevant text descriptions. Based on our current knowledge, LAION-Audio-630K is the largest audio-text dataset publicly available and a magnitude larger than previous audio-text datasets (by 2022-11-05).
