Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Balke | Jazz Structure Dataset

The Jazz Structure Dataset (JSD) comprises 340 recordings with more than 3000 annotated segments, along with a segment-wise encoding of the solo and accompanying instruments. These annotations provide the basis for training, testing, and evaluating models for various important MIR tasks, including structure analysis, solo detection, or instrument recognition. As an example application, we consider the task of structure boundary detection.

Raw annotation format for “Jordu” as contained in the JSD. Each row of the CSV file corresponds to a segment. The columns indicate the start time, the end time, the label, and the instrumentation of each segment.(right).
