DCASE 2023 Challenge Task 2 Additional Training Dataset

Description This dataset is the "additional training dataset" for the DCASE 2023 Challenge Task 2 "First-Shot Unsupervised Anomalous Sound Detection for Machine Condition Monitoring". The data consists of the normal/anomalous operating sounds of seven types of real/toy machines. Each recording is a single-channel audio that includes both a machine's operating sound and environmental noise. The duration of recordings varies from 6 to 18 sec, depending on the machine type. The following seven types of real/toy machines are used: Vacuum ToyTank ToyNscale ToyDrone bandsaw grinder shaker Overview of the task Anomalous sound detection (ASD) is the task of identifying whether the sound emitted from a target machine is normal or anomalous. Automatic detection of mechanical failure is an essential technology in the fourth industrial revolution, which involves artificial-intelligence-based factory automation. Prompt detection of machine anomalies by observing sounds is useful for monitoring the condition of machines. This task is the follow-up from DCASE 2020 Task 2 to DCASE 2022 Task 2. The task this year is to develop an ASD system that meets the following four requirements. 1. Train a model using only normal sound (unsupervised learning scenario) Because anomalies rarely occur and are highly diverse in real-world factories, it can be difficult to collect exhaustive patterns of anomalous sounds. Therefore, the system must detect unknown types of anomalous sounds that are not provided in the training data. This is the same requirement as in the previous tasks. 2. Detect anomalies regardless of domain shifts (domain generalization task) In real-world cases, the operational states of a machine or the environmental noise can change to cause domain shifts. Domain-generalization techniques can be useful for handling domain shifts that occur frequently or are hard-to-notice. In this task, the system is required to use domain-generalization techniques for handling these domain shifts. This requirement is the same as in DCASE 2022 Task 2. 3. Train a model for a completely new machine type For a completely new machine type, hyperparameters of the trained model cannot be tuned. Therefore, the system should have the ability to train models without additional hyperparameter tuning. 4. Train a model using only one machine from its machine type While sounds from multiple machines of the same machine type can be used to enhance detection performance, it is often the case that sound data from only one machine are available for a machine type. In such a case, the system should be able to train models using only one machine from a machine type. The last two requirements are newly introduced in DCASE 2023 Task2 as the "first-shot problem". Definition We first define key terms in this task: "machine type," "section," "source domain," "target domain," and "attributes.". "Machine type" indicates the type of machine, which in the development dataset is one of seven: fan, gearbox, bearing, slide rail, valve, ToyCar, and ToyTrain. A section is defined as a subset of the dataset for calculating performance metrics. The source domain is the domain under which most of the training data and some of the test data were recorded, and the target domain is a different set of domains under which some of the training data and some of the test data were recorded. There are differences between the source and target domains in terms of operating speed, machine load, viscosity, heating temperature, type of environmental noise, signal-to-noise ratio, etc. Attributes are parameters that define states of machines or types of noise. Dataset This dataset consists of seven machine types. For each machine type, one section is provided, and the section is a complete set of training and test data. For each section, this dataset provides (i) 990 clips of normal sounds in the source domain for training, (ii) ten clips of normal sounds in the target domain for training. The source/target domain of each sample is provided. Additionally, the attributes of each sample in the training and test data are provided in the file names and attribute csv files. File names and attribute csv files File names and attribute csv files provide reference labels for each clip. The given reference labels for each training/test clip include machine type, section index, normal/anomaly information, and attributes regarding the condition other than normal/anomaly. The machine type is given by the directory name. The section index is given by their respective file names. For the datasets other than the evaluation dataset, the normal/anomaly information and the attributes are given by their respective file names. Attribute csv files are for easy access to attributes that cause domain shifts. In these files, the file names, na ...
