LVLib v1 for General Audio Detection

LVLib v1 is a lightweight dataset for general audio detection and classification. It includes continuous real-world recordings with speech, music, silence and ambient noise classes with a total duration of 10 minutes. It is recommended for preliminary tests and evaluation of semantic audio analysis engines. This dataset is split up in four subsets, with slightly different content: Subset #1 is a compilation of environmental sounds derived from sound libraries, Subset #2 mostly consists of household sounds, speech, TV and radio recording, Subset #3 contains audio content from an office working environment and Subset #4 includes outdoor audio events in urban environment.
