# A-TRE-10k

[![Companion: A-COAT-2k](https://img.shields.io/badge/🤗-A--COAT--2k-yellow)](https://huggingface.co/datasets/chuyangchenn/a-coat-2k)

**A**udio **T**ree **R**econstruction **E**rror benchmark — 10,000 synthetic audio scenes
for evaluating whether audio encoders represent multi-source scenes compositionally.

Companion dataset to the ICASSP 2026 paper [*Evaluating Compositional Structure in Audio
Representations*](https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.13685). See also the
zero-shot benchmark [`chuyangchenn/a-coat-2k`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/chuyangchenn/a-coat-2k).

## Quick start

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("chuyangchenn/a-tre-10k", split="train")  # or "val", "test"
ex = ds[0]
samples = ex["audio"].get_all_samples()
waveform = samples.data           # torch.Tensor, shape (1, 320000)
sr = samples.sample_rate          # 32000
metadata = ex["metadata"]         # list of {timbre_label, pitch_label, rate_label, amplitude_label}
```

Streaming (no local download):

```python
ds = load_dataset("chuyangchenn/a-tre-10k", split="test", streaming=True)
for ex in ds.take(5):
    print(ex["audio"].get_all_samples().data.shape)
```

## Dataset structure

Each row is one 10-second 32 kHz mono audio scene plus its source-attribute metadata.

| Field      | Type                          | Description                                                  |
|------------|-------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| `audio`    | `Audio(sampling_rate=32000)`  | Waveform, shape `(1, 320000)` — peak-normalised mono.        |
| `metadata` | `list[dict]`                  | One entry per source: `{timbre_label, pitch_label, rate_label, amplitude_label}`. |

A scene contains **N ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4}** independent sources, each described by four discrete
attributes (K = 8 classes per attribute):

- **timbre**`t1``t8`: eight DX7 FM synth patches
- **pitch**`p1``p8`: MIDI 36–84, linearly binned
- **rate**`r1``r8`: 0.2–3.0 Hz, log-binned repetition rate
- **amplitude**`a1``a8`: −26 to 0 dB, linearly binned

## Splits

| Split | # scenes |
|-------|---------:|
| train |    8,000 |
| val   |    1,000 |
| test  |    1,000 |
