New dataset released for Korean traditional singing with sigimsae annotations

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced Gugak-VocalSet, a new dataset featuring Korean traditional singing with detailed annotations of sigimsae, a system for vocal expressions. The dataset comprises 24.5 hours of unaccompanied solo vocal recordings from 305 tracks, performed by 20 professional singers. It includes genre, lyrics, and mood tags, along with approximately 68,000 segments annotated for sigimsae using a unified ontology. Initial experiments demonstrate that domain-informed F0 representations are competitive with general-purpose music foundation models for sigimsae classification. AI
