CHIME · MAESTRO

This is a source-preserving prepared candidate, not a scientifically admitted CHIME benchmark release. It repackages the selected upstream release into split-specific WebDataset TAR shards with native audio and per-example JSON. A Parquet index permits metadata filtering without downloading audio shards.

Source and selected scope

  • Upstream: MAESTRO.
  • Pinned source release: 3.0.0.
  • Selection: Every performance of the X-ARES MAESTRO subset (Zenodo 14858022), official splits unchanged.
  • Original license/access conditions: CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 Public anonymous download; no access request or click-through agreement. Retain original per-recording terms and attribution.
  • Source notes: Audio from the X-ARES MAESTRO WebDataset subset (Zenodo 10.5281/zenodo.14858022): whole official performances with MAESTRO's official splits (65/177 test, 125 train, 62 validation). Labels from the official maestro-v3.0.0.csv. Each performance is cut into 10 s clips; tails shorter than 2.5 s are dropped.

Original authors, licensors and recording contributors retain their rights. This preparation was assembled for public noncommercial research access; this repository does not grant broader rights than the original sources. Preserve per-recording attribution and notices. provenance/ contains original annotations/docs/licenses, source provenance and the redistribution audit. FSD50K/Clotho audio has per-recording terms; Clotho captions retain the complete custom Tampere experimental/noncommercial license. The CHIME code license does not apply to these data.

Representation and preservation

There are 12,780 audio assets, 22,774,635,324 stored-audio bytes and 22,774,073,004 decoded-PCM-equivalent bytes. Native sample rate, duration and channel count are retained. No loudness normalization, silence trimming, resampling or downmixing is applied.

Each sample retains its native audio codec (WAV/FLAC/MP3/OGG or another supported native container). Each payload is accompanied by <key>.json in an ordinary TAR. The JSON contains split, stored audio metadata, provenance, source groups and source targets. manifest.jsonl also records shard/member offsets and checksums. metadata.parquet provides audio and shard columns, common source/group/license columns, and exact arbitrary annotations in metadata_json (decode with json.loads). It does not duplicate audio payloads. Keeping heterogeneous annotations as JSON preserves empty objects and differing target schemas without Arrow type coercion. release.json hashes the audio shards and record manifest, and publication.json inventories all published files including attribution assets.

CHiME-3 background recordings interleave six synchronized native mono PCM16 channels into one six-channel PCM16 WAV per session, with exact decoded-sample checks and an explicit channel map. The excluded CHiME speech corpus is not included. Other audio payloads are copied byte for byte.

Source splits

  • test: 2,823 original audio assets.
  • train: 7,070 original audio assets.
  • validation: 2,887 original audio assets.

These are original source partitions or explicitly unspecified/background partitions. ESC-50 retains five official folds; no fixed benchmark train/test assignment is invented. VocalSet's split is the supplied technique-classification singer protocol, not a universal task protocol. Background noise is not converted into artificial word or silence examples. Linked views/channels share provenance groups.

Scientific limitations

Scientific admission remains pending. Native file integrity and packaging checks do not establish label correctness, perceptual deduplication, contamination freedom or benchmark validity. Existing upstream annotation errata and ambiguity are retained/documented. The source audit found declared Freesound ID overlaps within some official folds/partitions and across ESC-50, FSD50K and Clotho; FSD50K train/validation also share uploaders. Use the supplied source IDs, group metadata and provenance/source-audit.json when defining an evaluation protocol. Do not claim these candidate splits are universally leakage-free. Scores from this repository alone are not official CHIME scores.

Loading

Pin an immutable Hub commit revision in experiments. A generic Hugging Face WebDataset loader can read the shard configurations:

from datasets import load_dataset
samples = load_dataset("ltuncay/chime-maestro", revision="<commit-sha>", streaming=True)

For local source-native decoding and checksum verification, use CHIME's iter_release(path, split=..., verify_hashes=True). Its audio arrays have shape [frames, channels]; the evaluated model owns its preprocessing. Download only selected shards/index files when appropriate; benchmark execution must not silently fetch data.

Provenance and citation

Cite the upstream dataset and recording authors as specified in the original documentation under provenance/. This preparation does not claim authorship of the source recordings or annotations. Exact upstream objects, checksums, release selection, preparation metadata and source URLs are recorded in release.json. Source Zenodo metadata/citations are retained when available. See the CHIME project implementation brief and scientific paper for the evolving evaluation protocol.

CHIME v1 benchmark usage

Do not train on CHIME evaluation data: 2823 records in the release split(s) test, listed one key per line in provenance/benchmark-v1/eval-keys.txt. Models submitted to CHIME must not see these recordings (or their source recordings) during pretraining or fine-tuning.

Task Family Metric Folds Train Validation Test (eval)
maestro-composer classification balanced_accuracy 1 train validation test
maestro-notes frame_multilabel segment_f1 1 train validation test

Exact per-record partition assignments (including records excluded from training because they share a source with evaluation data, and digitally silent assets) are in provenance/benchmark-v1/<task>.jsonl; the frozen task definitions are in provenance/benchmark-v1/usage.json. Splits never depend on the evaluation seed.
