Bark detection dataset

Dataset Description

This dataset comprises both positive and negative samples of audio of 1 second in WAV format, recorded at 44.1kHz.

Negative samples include music, voice, claps, whistles and vacuum cleaner noise, among other sound you may record inside a house.

Caveats:

This is an imbalanced dataset: ~10k negatives vs ~500 positives.
Positive samples may include human generated barks.
Some (few) positive samples are false positives.

Example usage

from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("rmarcosg/bark-detection", split="train")

Supported Tasks
