Dataset Statistics

Dataset Usage

• Training Set: Uses focus audio from XC with quality ratings A, B, C, excluding CC‑ND licensed recordings.
• Test Set: Provides full recordings and label sets, excluding recordings without bird vocalizations.
• 5‑second Test Set: Multi‑label task; each recording is segmented into 5‑second intervals, with an unlabeled [0] vector for silent segments.

Metadata

• Audio Format: 32 kHz mono.
• Labels: ebird_code, ebird_code_multilabel, ebird_code_secondary.
• Additional Metadata: Start time, end time, frequency range, geographic location, etc.
