### Dataset Summary

[Data-centric AI](https://datacentricai.org) principles have become increasingly important for real-world use cases. At [Renumics](https://renumics.com/) we believe that classical benchmark datasets and competitions should be extended to reflect this development. 

This is why we are publishing benchmark datasets with application-specific enrichments (e.g. embeddings, baseline results, uncertainties, label error scores). We hope this helps the ML community in the following ways:
1. Enable new researchers to quickly develop a profound understanding of the dataset.
2. Popularize data-centric AI principles and tooling in the ML community.
3. Encourage the sharing of meaningful qualitative insights in addition to traditional quantitative metrics.

This dataset is an enriched version of the [dataset](https://zenodo.org/record/7690148#.ZAXsSdLMLmE) provided in the context of the [anomalous sound detection task](https://dcase.community/challenge2023/task-first-shot-unsupervised-anomalous-sound-detection-for-machine-condition-monitoring) of the [DCASE2023 challenge](https://dcase.community/challenge2023/). The enrichment include an embedding generated by a pre-trained [Audio Spectrogram Transformer](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/audio-spectrogram-transformer#transformers.ASTFeatureExtractor) and results of the official challenge [baseline implementation](https://github.com/nttcslab/dase2023_task2_baseline_ae).

### DCASE23 Task2 Dataset

Once a year, the [DCASE community](https://dcase.community/) publishes a [challenge](https://dcase.community/challenge2023/) with several tasks in the context of acoustic event detection and classification. [Task 2 of this challenge](https://dcase.community/challenge2023/task-first-shot-unsupervised-anomalous-sound-detection-for-machine-condition-monitoring) deals with anomalous sound detection for machine condition monitoring. The original dataset is based on the [MIMII DG](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.13879) and the [ToyADMOS2](https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.02369) datasets. Please cite the papers by [Harada et al.](https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.02369) and [Dohi et al.](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.13879) if you use this dataset and the paper by [Harada et al.](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.00455.pdf) if you use the baseline results.

### Explore Dataset

![Analyze DCASE23 Task 2 with Spotlight](data/preview_dcase.png "Analyze DCASE23 Task 2 with Spotlight")

The enrichments allow you to quickly gain insights into the dataset. The open source data curation tool Renumics Spotlight enables that with just a few lines of code:

Load the dataset from huggingface in your notebook:
```jupyterpython
import datasets

dataset = datasets.load_dataset("renumics/dcase23-task2-enriched", "dev", split="all", streaming=False)
```

Install Spotlight via [pip](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/key_projects/#pip):
```jupyterpython
!pip install renumics-spotlight
```

Start exploring with a simple view that leverages embeddings to identify relevant data segments:
```jupyterpython
from renumics import spotlight

df = dataset.to_pandas()
spotlight.show(df, dtype={'path': spotlight.Audio, "embeddings_ast-finetuned-audioset-10-10-0.4593": spotlight.Embedding})
```
You can use the UI to interactively configure the view on the data. Depending on the concrete taks (e.g. model comparison, debugging, outlier detection) you might want to leverage different enrichments and metadata.

This example shows a view that is suitable to compare the results of two different ML models:


```jupyterpython
from renumics import spotlight

df = dataset.to_pandas()
# spotlight.show(df, dtype={'path': spotlight.Audio, "embeddings_ast-finetuned-audioset-10-10-0.4593": spotlight.Embedding}, layout=ds_builder.config.get_layout(config="standard"))
# todo
```

## Using custom model results and enrichments

When developing your custom model you want to use different kinds of information from you model (e.g. embedding, anomaly scores etc.) to gain further insights into the dataset and the model behvior.

Suppose you have your model's embeddings for each datapoint as a 2D-Numpy array and your anomaly score as a 1D-Numpy array. Then you can add this information to the dataset:
```jupyterpython
from renumics import spotlight
#todo
```
Depending on your concrete task you might want to use different enrichments. For a good overview on great open source tooling for uncertainty quantification, explainability and outlier detection, you can take a look at our [curated list for open source data-centric AI tooling](https://github.com/Renumics/awesome-open-data-centric-ai) on Github.

You can also save your view configuration in Spotlight in a JSON configuration file by clicking on the respective icon:

[//]: # (todo: create new image -> Spotlight widgets use column "audio" as key in this picture.)

![Save a data curation layout in Spotlight](data/spotlight_save_layout.png "Save a data curation layout in Spotlight")

We have also set up a Github repo with interactive notebooks that highlight different enrichment possibilities and curation templates. We encourage you to submit a pull request to share your enrichment code and interaction layouts.

## Dataset Creation

The following information is copied from the original [dataset upload on zenodo.org](https://zenodo.org/record/7690148#.ZAXsSdLMLmE)

### Curation Rationale

This dataset is the "development dataset" for the [DCASE 2023 Challenge Task 2 "First-Shot Unsupervised Anomalous Sound Detection for Machine Condition Monitoring"](https://dcase.community/challenge2023/task-unsupervised-anomalous-sound-detection-for-machine-condition-monitoring).

The data consists of the normal/anomalous operating sounds of seven types of real/toy machines. Each recording is a single-channel 10-second audio that includes both a machine's operating sound and environmental noise. The following seven types of real/toy machines are used in this task:

- ToyCar
- ToyTrain
- Fan
- Gearbox
- Bearing
- Slide rail
- Valve

### Source Data

#### Definition

We first define key terms in this task: "machine type," "section," "source domain," "target domain," and "attributes.".

-   "Machine type" indicates the type of machine, which in the development dataset is one of seven: fan, gearbox, bearing, slide rail, valve, ToyCar, and ToyTrain.
-   A section is defined as a subset of the dataset for calculating performance metrics.
-   The source domain is the domain under which most of the training data and some of the test data were recorded, and the target domain is a different set of domains under which some of the training data and some of the test data were recorded. There are differences between the source and target domains in terms of operating speed, machine load, viscosity, heating temperature, type of environmental noise, signal-to-noise ratio, etc.
-   Attributes are parameters that define states of machines or types of noise.

#### Description

This dataset consists of seven machine types. For each machine type, one section is provided, and the section is a complete set of training and test data. For each section, this dataset provides (i) 990 clips of normal sounds in the source domain for training, (ii) ten clips of normal sounds in the target domain for training, and (iii) 100 clips each of normal and anomalous sounds for the test. The source/target domain of each sample is provided. Additionally, the attributes of each sample in the training and test data are provided in the file names and attribute csv files.

#### Recording procedure

Normal/anomalous operating sounds of machines and its related equipment are recorded. Anomalous sounds were collected by deliberately damaging target machines. For simplifying the task, we use only the first channel of multi-channel recordings; all recordings are regarded as single-channel recordings of a fixed microphone. We mixed a target machine sound with environmental noise, and only noisy recordings are provided as training/test data. The environmental noise samples were recorded in several real factory environments. We will publish papers on the dataset to explain the details of the recording procedure by the submission deadline.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Anomalous sound detection (ASD) is the task of identifying whether the sound emitted from a target machine is normal or anomalous. Automatic detection of mechanical failure is an essential technology in the fourth industrial revolution, which involves artificial-intelligence-based factory automation. Prompt detection of machine anomalies by observing sounds is useful for monitoring the condition of machines. 

This task is the follow-up from DCASE 2020 Task 2 to DCASE 2022 Task 2. The task this year is to develop an ASD system that meets the following four requirements.
 
**1. Train a model using only normal sound (unsupervised learning scenario)**

Because anomalies rarely occur and are highly diverse in real-world factories, it can be difficult to collect exhaustive patterns of anomalous sounds. Therefore, the system must detect unknown types of anomalous sounds that are not provided in the training data. This is the same requirement as in the previous tasks.

**2. Detect anomalies regardless of domain shifts (domain generalization task)** 

In real-world cases, the operational states of a machine or the environmental noise can change to cause domain shifts. Domain-generalization techniques can be useful for handling domain shifts that occur frequently or are hard-to-notice. In this task, the system is required to use domain-generalization techniques for handling these domain shifts. This requirement is the same as in DCASE 2022 Task 2.

**3. Train a model for a completely new machine type**

For a completely new machine type, hyperparameters of the trained model cannot be tuned. Therefore, the system should have the ability to train models without additional hyperparameter tuning.

**4. Train a model using only one machine from its machine type**

While sounds from multiple machines of the same machine type can be used to enhance detection performance, it is often the case that sound data from only one machine are available for a machine type. In such a case, the system should be able to train models using only one machine from a machine type.
