# AudioSet data
This repository contains the balanced training set and evaluation set
of the [AudioSet data](
https://research.google.com/audioset/dataset/index.html). The YouTube
videos were downloaded in March 2023, and so not all of the original
audios are available.

Extracting the `*.tar` files will place audio clips into the `audio/`
directory. The distribuion of audio clips is as follows:
- `audio/bal_train`: 18685 audio clips out of 22160 originally.
- `audio/eval`: 17142 audio clips out of 20371 originally.

Most audio is sampled at 48 kHz 24 bit, but about 10% is sampled at
44.1 kHz 24 bit. Audio files are stored in the FLAC format.
