Dataset Card for TRBLLmaker Dataset

Dataset Summary

TRBLLmaker - To Read Between Lyrics Lines. Dataset used in order to train a model to get as an input - several lines of song's lyrics and generate optional interpretation / meaning of them or use the songs' metdata for various tasks such as classification.

This dataset is based on 'Genius' website's data, which contains global collection of songs lyrics and provides annotations and interpretations to songs lyrics and additional music knowledge. We used 'Genius' API, created private client and extracted the relevant raw data from Genius servers.

We extracted the songs by the most popular songs in each genre - pop, rap, rock, country and r&b. Afterwards, we created a varied pool of 150 artists that associated with different music styles and periods, and extracted maximum of 100 samples from each. We combined all the data, without repetitions, into one final database. After preforming a cleaning of non-English lyrics, we got our final corpus that contains 8,808 different songs with over all of 60,630 samples, while each sample is a specific sentence from the song's lyrics and its top rated annotation.

Considerations for Using the Data

Social Impact of Dataset

We are excited about the future of applying attention-based models on task such as meaning generation. We hope this dataset will encourage more NLP researchers to improve the way we understand and enjoy songs, since achieving artistic comprehension is another step that progress us to the goal of robust AI.
