WhaleSounds consists of underwater acoustic recordings around Antarctica, manually annotated for seven different types of whale calls [1, 2]. The dataset has been processed to extract the annotated whale calls from the original recordings. The processed dataset contains 105,163 (univariate) time series, each of length 2,500, with eight classes representing the seven types of whale call plus a class for unidentified sounds. This version of the dataset has been split into stratified random cross-validation folds.
