Tasks, access and usage conditions#

Mention counts below measure name matches in tracked papers, not benchmark quality or downloads. A family count can cover multiple datasets; it is not a separate count for each comparison row. Choose a task and version first, preserve evaluation splits, and follow the linked release terms. The site's content license does not replace the datasets' own terms.

Dataset comparison: tasks, access and usage conditions
Dataset / versionTask and evaluationAccess and preparationUsage conditions
IEMOCAPActed/improvised dyadic emotional speech, with audiovisual and motion-capture data; about 12 hours.

Evaluation: Use speaker/session-disjoint evaluation, specify whether happy/excited are merged, and report weighted/unweighted accuracy.

Official source / documentation

Request the release through USC SAIL and specify the label mapping and modalities used.

Obtain the corpus under USC’s release agreement; public documentation is not unrestricted permission to redistribute recordings.
RAVDESS 1.0.0Acted emotional speech/song from 24 actors, distributed in audio and video variants.

Evaluation: Split by actor and identify modality, intensity and labels; random utterance splits can leak the same speaker into testing.

Official source / documentation

Download the required audio-speech, song or audiovisual files from the creator’s Zenodo record.

The record’s explicit license section specifies CC BY-NC-SA 4.0; commercial licensing is offered separately.

Archive counts by publication year: a paper counts when its title, abstract or keywords name the dataset, or when OpenAlex's full-text search finds it there (searched for the last 30 days' papers and, by a pass over the past years, for older ones). Names added to the list later are looked for in older papers as the archive is read again.
