RealDESED: A Real-World Domestic Sound Event Detection Benchmark
This paper presents RealDESED, a real-world domestic sound event detection (SED) benchmark comprising 5,710 audio recordings collected by 652 participants in their homes. Each recording is between 15 and 35 seconds long and contains temporally precise annotations for 15 common domestic sound classes. In contrast to existing SED datasets, which typically rely on simulated soundscapes or broad web-crawled audio, RealDESED consists exclusively of recordings captured in natural domestic environments, reflecting realistic variability in recording devices, device placement, acoustic conditions, background sounds, and naturally occurring event co-occurrences. A distinguishing characteristic of t...
