Assertion
Difficulties of sharing audio have led to ad hoc use of different beat-tracking datasets in the literature. Datasets differ in whether they contain excerpts or full tracks, number of annotators, annotation post-processing, style specificity, Western or non-Western content, and perceived difficulty. The MIREX downbeat task (from 2014) used six datasets: The Beatles, HJDB, Turkish, Ballroom, Carnatic, and Cretan.
Quote
However, the well-known difficulties of sharing the audio component of large annotated datasets has led to a rather ad-hoc usage of different datasets within the literature [...]. In 2014, the Audio Downbeat Estimation (ADE) task was launched which comprised six different datasets from diverse geographic and stylistic sources: The Beatles [24]; Hardcore, Jungle, Drum and Bass (HJDB) [15]; Turkish [41]; Ballroom [21]; Carnatic [42]; and Cretan [17] [...]. Duration: [...] beat and downbeat tracking datasets can be comprised of musical excerpts [...] rather than full tracks [...]. Number of annotators [...] Annotation post-processing [...] Style-specificity [...] Western / Non-Western [...] Perceived difficulty: Finally, the choice of musical material can be based upon the perceived difficulty of the musical excerpts
