Dataset for ICASSP 2026 Cadenza Challenge: Predicting Lyric Intelligibility (CLIP)

Cadenza This is the training and validation data for the ICASSP 2026 Cadenza Challenge: Predicting Lyrics Intelligibility (CLIP1) Understanding the lyrics in music is key for music enjoyment [1]. People with hearing loss can have difficulties to clearly and effortlessly hearing lyrics [2], however. In speech technology, having metrics to automatically evaluate intelligibility has driven improvements in speech enhancement. We want to do the same for music with lyrics! A detailed description of the challenge can be found on our website卡丹扎（Cadenza） 本数据集为ICASSP 2026卡丹扎挑战赛（Cadenza Challenge）歌词可懂度预测任务（CLIP1）的训练与验证数据。 理解音乐中的歌词是音乐欣赏的核心要素[1]。然而，听障人群往往难以清晰且毫不费力地听清歌词[2]。在语音技术领域，可自动评估可懂度（intelligibility）的量化指标曾推动语音增强（speech enhancement）技术实现长足进步。我们期望在歌词音乐领域达成同样的技术目标！ 该挑战赛的详细说明可在我方官方网站查阅。
