How the annotations were collected:

The label "hasbird" represents whether a sound clip contains any audible bird sound. Note that there may be other sounds such as weather or humans, occasionally loud - the label does not mean that bird sound predominates.

The labels were double-annotated, by the following procedures:

* For the ff1010bird data, the presence/absence of birds was first deduced from the tags provided by the original FreeSound recordist (diverse crowdsourced tags such as "birdsong" "dawn-chorus" or "phylloscopus-collybita"), and then double-checked and refined by a manual annotator.

* For the warblrb10k data, the annotations were crowdsourced via a web service, answering the following question: "Can you hear any birds in this clip?" Annotations were then double-checked by a manual annotator to correct false-positives and -negatives.
