contents In this paper, we introduce a LargE-scale Annotator's labels for sound event Detection (LEAD) dataset, which is the dataset used to gain a better understanding of the variation in strong labels in sound event detection (SED). In SED, it is very time-consuming to collect large-scale strong labels, and in most cases, multiple workers divide up the annotations to create a single dataset. In general, strong labels created by multiple annotators have large variations in the type of sound events and temporal onset/offset. Through the annotations of multiple workers, uniquely determining the strong label is quite difficult because the dataset contains sounds that can be mistaken for similar classes and sounds whose temporal onset/offset is difficult to distinguish. If the strong labels of SED vary greatly depending on the annotator, the SED model trained on a dataset created by multiple annotators will be biased. Moreover, if annotators differ between training and evaluation data, there is a risk that the model cannot be evaluated correctly. To investigate the variation in strong labels, we release the LEAD dataset, which provides distinct strong labels for each clip annotated by 20 different annotators. The LEAD dataset allows us to investigate how strong labels vary from annotator to annotator and consider SED models that are robust to the variation of strong labels. The LEAD dataset consists of strong labels assigned to sound clips from TUT Sound Events 2016/2017, TUT Acoustic Scenes 2016, and URBAN-SED. We also analyze variations in the strong labels in the LEAD dataset and provide insights into the variations.
