Quick Stats:

1,122 total samples (102 original + 1,020 augmented)
10 genre categories
~200 character descriptions per sample
Balanced augmentation (10x per original)

Dataset Composition

Features

text: String (song description, ~200 characters)
label: String (genre category)

Genre Distribution

Genre	Original	Augmented	Percentage
pop	35	350	34.3%
k-pop	15	150	14.7%
r&b	15	150	14.7%
indie	10	100	9.8%

k-rock	3	30	2.9%

Data Splits

original: 102 manually written song descriptions
augmented: 1,020 synthetically augmented descriptions (10x augmentation per original)

Data Collection Process

Collection Methodology

Song descriptions created between January-February 2025:

Based on 100+ popular songs from various streaming platforms
Covers music from 1980s-2020s
International representation (English, Korean, Chinese, Spanish)
Manual description writing without using copyrighted lyrics

Selection Criteria

Popular/recognizable songs across genres
Diverse cultural and temporal representation
Clear genre categorization
No explicit content or offensive material

Preprocessing and Augmentation

Preprocessing Pipeline

Standardized to ~200 character descriptions
Removed artist names and song titles from text
Ensured grammatical consistency
Verified genre labels

Augmentation Techniques

Each original generated 10 augmented variants using:

EDA: Synonym replacement, random deletion/swap/insertion (3 variants)
Character Noise: Random drops and swaps (3 variants)
Back-Translation: English → German → English pipeline (1 variant)
T5 Paraphrasing: Neural text generation with T5-small (1 variant)
Combined: EDA + character noise (2 variants)

Labels and Annotation

Labeling Schema

pop: Mainstream pop music
k-pop: Korean pop music
r&b: Rhythm and blues
indie: Independent/alternative
rock: Rock and soft rock
hip-hop: Rap and hip-hop
jazz: Jazz standards
c-pop: Chinese pop music
latin: Latin/Spanish music
k-rock: Korean rock

Annotation Process

Manual labeling based on known genre classifications
Single-label assignment (no multi-genre)
Verified against music platform categorizations

Intended Use and Limitations

Intended Use Cases

Text classification model training
Studying text augmentation effectiveness
NLP educational projects
Genre classification research baseline

Limitations

Limited to ~200 character descriptions
Subjective genre boundaries
Western music bias despite international songs
Augmented samples may contain grammatical errors
Small original dataset size (102 samples)

Out-of-Scope Uses

Production music recommendation systems
Detailed music analysis (lyrics, audio)
Multi-label genre classification
Commercial applications without additional data

Ethical Considerations

Representation

Attempted balance across major global music markets
Acknowledges genre classification subjectivity
May not equally represent all music communities

Privacy

No personal information included
No copyrighted lyrics reproduced
Descriptions are original creations

Cultural Sensitivity

Genre labels may oversimplify cultural music traditions
"World music" avoided as a category due to its problematic nature
Users should be aware of Western-centric genre definitions

AI Usage Disclosure

AI-Assisted Components

Augmentation: Back-translation using Helsinki-NLP models
Paraphrasing: T5-small model for text generation
Documentation: README structure refined with AI assistance
Descriptions: Written with human knowledge, no lyrics copied

Human Oversight

All original descriptions manually written
Genre labels manually assigned and verified
Augmentation quality manually reviewed
No copyrighted material reproduced

Usage Example

from datasets import load_dataset
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression

# Load dataset
dataset = load_dataset("maryzhang/hw1-24679-text-dataset-augmented")

# Prepare data
X_train = dataset['augmented']['text']
y_train = dataset['augmented']['label']
X_test = dataset['original']['text']
y_test = dataset['original']['label']

# Train classifier
vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer(max_features=1000)
X_train_vec = vectorizer.fit_transform(X_train)
X_test_vec = vectorizer.transform(X_test)

clf = LogisticRegression()
clf.fit(X_train_vec, y_train)
accuracy = clf.score(X_test_vec, y_test)
print(f"Accuracy: {accuracy:.2f}")
