FOA-MEIR Dataset: multi-environment impulse response recordings with a first-order ambisonic microphone

FOA-MEIR is an impulse response (IR) dataset recorded in over 100 environments for use in sound event localization and detection (SELD) tasks. This dataset is set up to develop a robust SELD system in an unknown environment, and the IRs for the inferred environment are recorded at a different location from that of training data. The dataset also contains dry source recordings that can be combined with IR recordings to generate audio clips for training the SELD task.
