Dataset Card for Chinese National Pentatonic Mode Dataset

The original dataset is sourced from the Chinese National Pentatonic Mode, which combines manual labeling with computer-based methods in the construction of the World Music Database. It collects and annotates audio of the five modes (including pentatonic, hexatonic, and heptatonic) of "Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi, and Yu". It also provides a detailed analysis of the judgment of Chinese national pentatonic modes and identifies application scenarios and technical models, offering raw data for the analysis and retrieval of characteristics of Chinese national music.

Based on the aforementioned original data, after data processing, we have constructed the default subset of this integrated version of the dataset, and its data structure can be viewed in the viewer. As this dataset has been cited and used in published articles, no further eval subset needs to be constructed for evaluation. Because the default subset is multi-labelled, it is difficult to maintain the integrity of labels in the split for all label columns, hence only a single split for the training set is provided. Users can perform their own splits on specified columns according to their specific downstream tasks.

Dataset Summary

The expanded dataset is integrated into our database, and each data entry consists of seven columns: the first column denotes the audio recording in .wav format, sampled at 22,050 Hz. The second and third presents the name of the piece and artist. The subsequent columns represent the system, tonic, pattern, and type of the musical piece, respectively. The eighth column contains an additional Chinese name of the mode, while the final column indicates the duration of the audio in seconds.

Annotations

Annotation process

Based on the working idea of combining manual labeling with a computer in the construction of the World Music Database, this database collects and labels the audio of five modes (including five tones, six tones and seven tones) of "Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi and Yu". At the same time, it makes a detailed analysis of the judgment of Chinese national pentatonic modes and finds application scenarios and technical models, which can provide raw data for the analysis and retrieval of Chinese national music characteristics.

Who are the annotators?

Teachers & students from FD-LAMT, CCOM, SCCM

Personal and Sensitive Information

Due to copyright reasons, only some of the audio can be released directly. This part of the audio is the Shang mode and Jue mode tracks performed by professional performers. The rest of the audio needs to be searched and downloaded by the dataset user from music platforms such as Kugou Music, NetEase Cloud Music and QQ Music, based on song titles, artists and album names.

Considerations for Using the Data

Social Impact of Dataset

Promoting the development of the music AI industry

Discussion of Biases

Only for Traditional Chinese Instruments

Other Known Limitations

Only for Pentatonic Mode
