# Dataset card for Scream Detection in Heavy Metal Music
This dataset contains the processed dataset used in the paper "Scream Detection in Heavy Metal Music" (Kalbag & Lerch, 2022) from the Georgia Institute of Technology.

This dataset contains annotations of 57 songs, distributed over 34 bands and 47 albums. The vocal events are labelled into 5 classes:

Clean (or sung vocal)
Low Fry Scream
Mid Fry Scream
High Fry Scream
Layered Vocals
The label "Layered Vocals" has been applied to cases where there are examples of two or more classes present simultaneously.

Kalbag, V., & Lerch, A. (2022). Scream detection in heavy metal music. arXiv preprint arXiv:2205.05580.

### How to use
Load the dataset from huggingface in your notebook:
```python
!pip install datasets[audio]

import datasets

dataset = datasets.load_dataset("jpdiazpardo/scream_detection_heavy_metal")
```

### Data Fields

* `audio`: the trimmed audio file from the song.
* `scream_type`: the target variable for classification i.e. layered, lowfry, highfry, midfry, clean.
* `song_name`: the name of the song.
* `band_name`: the name of the artist performing the song.
* `album_name`: the name of the album where the song was released.
* `release_year`: the release year of the song.
* `video_id`: the YouTube video id.
* `timestamp_start`: the start time of the snippet from the full audio.
* `tiemstamp_end`: the end time of the snippet from the full audio.
* `sample_rate`: the sampling rate of the audio.

### Source Data

#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
The data was collected from the YouTube playlist above and trimmed using the timestamps provided in the dataset.

The audio files were passed through the [Spleeter](https://joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21105/joss.02154) (Hennequin et al., 2020) source separation algorithm to separate the vocals from the other components.
