We introduce two large open data collections of Indian Art Music, both its Carnatic and Hindustani traditions, comprising audio from vocal concerts, editorial metadata, and time-aligned melody, rhythm, and structure annotations. Shared under Creative Commons licenses, they currently form the largest annotated data collections available for computational analysis of Indian Art Music. The collections are intended to provide audio and ground truth for several music information research tasks and large-scale data-driven analysis in musicological studies. A part of the Saraga Carnatic collection also has multitrack recordings, making it a valuable collection for research on melody extraction, source separation, automatic mixing, and performance analysis. We describe the tenets and the process of collection, annotation, and organization of the data. We provide easy access to the audio, metadata, and the annotations in the collections through an API, along with a companion website that has example scripts to facilitate access and use of the data. To sustain and grow the collections, we provide a mechanism for both the research and music community to contribute additional data and annotations to the collections. We also present applications with the collections for music education, understanding, exploration, and discovery.

Saraga：印度艺术音乐研究的开放数据集

我们介绍了印度艺术音乐的两个大型开放数据集合，包括卡纳提克和印度斯坦传统，包括来自声乐音乐会的音频、编辑元数据以及时间对齐的旋律、节奏和结构注释。在知识共享许可下共享，它们目前构成了最大的注释数据集合，可用于印度艺术音乐的计算分析。这些收藏旨在为音乐学研究中的多项音乐信息研究任务和大规模数据驱动分析提供音频和基本事实。Saraga Carnatic 系列的一部分也有多轨录音，使其成为旋律提取、源分离、自动混音和性能分析研究的宝贵收藏。我们描述了数据的收集、注释和组织的原则和过程。我们通过 API 提供对集合中的音频、元数据和注释的轻松访问，以及具有示例脚本的配套网站，以方便访问和使用数据。为了维持和发展收藏，我们为研究和音乐界提供了一种机制，可以为收藏提供额外的数据和注释。我们还展示了用于音乐教育、理解、探索和发现的应用程序。
