# About this Repository

This repository is the training split of [the complete FreeSound LAION 640k dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/benjamin-paine/freesound-laion-640k), limited only to licenses that permit commercial works, resampled to `16khz` using `torchaudio.transforms.Resample`.

This is ideal for use cases where a variety of audio is desired but fidelity and labels are unnecessary, such as background audio for augmenting other datasets.

## Dataset Versions

- The [full](https://huggingface.co/datasets/benjamin-paine/freesound-laion-640k-commercial-16khz-full) dataset contains **403,146** unique sounds totaling **37.5 GB**.
- The [large](https://huggingface.co/datasets/benjamin-paine/freesound-laion-640k-commercial-16khz-large) dataset contains **200,000** unique sounds totaling **18.7 GB**.
- The [medium](https://huggingface.co/datasets/benjamin-paine/freesound-laion-640k-commercial-16khz-medium) dataset contains **100,000** unique sounds totaling **9.29 GB**.
- The [small](https://huggingface.co/datasets/benjamin-paine/freesound-laion-640k-commercial-16khz-small) dataset contains **50,000** unique sounds totaling **4.64 GB**.
- *You are looking at the **tiny** dataset which contains **20,000** unique sounds totaling **1.84 GB**.

## Sampling Method

To generate the smaller datasets, the following method was applied:
- Using the complete dataset's tag metadata, generate a feature vector for each sample.
- Cluster the feature vectors using k-means sampling.
- Sample from each cluster in a round-robin fasion until the desired dataset size is reached.

## What about download links?

Links were ommitted for the sake of size, as they can be constructed from the data already present. To reconstruct a link, use the following format:

# About this 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).

## 采样方法

为生成各小型子集，我们采用如下采样流程：
- 基于完整数据集的标签元数据，为每个样本生成特征向量。
- 采用k-means采样对特征向量进行聚类。
- 以轮询方式从每个聚类中采样，直至达到目标数据集规模。
