Key Research Finding: While the dataset perfectly matches the reported 5,000 total recordings and per-class counts (Angry: 1001, Excited: 1000, Happy: 1000, Neutral: 1000, Sad: 999), several acoustic properties deviate from the published preprint description.

4. Data Leakage Assessment & Splitting Recommendations
No Speaker / Video Labels Available: The filenames only encode
[emotion]_[index].wav and WAV headers contain no metadata tags. Therefore, speaker-clustered splitting cannot be established without synthetic assumptions. However,
exact duplicate audio leakage has been identified and must be quarantined:
- All 22 duplicate pairs must be assigned strictly to the TRAIN set (or deduplicated). Under no circumstance may duplicate audio span across Train and Test.
- Stratified 70% / 15% / 15% Train / Val / Test splitting will be locked by fixed seed (42) in
splits_v1.json.
- The Test set will remain 100% held-out until final reporting.
