Title: General-purpose Tagging of Freesound Audio with AudioSet Labels: Task Description, Dataset, and Baseline,
Abstract: This paper describes Task 2 of the DCASE 2018 Challenge, titled
"General-purpose audio tagging of Freesound content with AudioSet labels". This
task was hosted on the Kaggle platform as "Freesound General-Purpose Audio
Tagging Challenge". The goal of the task is to build an audio tagging system
that can recognize the category of an audio clip from a subset of 41 diverse
categories drawn from the AudioSet Ontology. We present the task, the dataset
prepared for the competition, and a baseline system.
