Sig53 Dataset issue

[lboegner]

Hi Jie-su,

Glad to hear you’re interested in Sig53 for your research!

1. Sig53 and WidebandSig53 are two different datasets:

   • Sig53 contains shorter examples of 4,096 IQ samples with a single signal class in each. This dataset is primarily meant to be used for signal classification research. More details on this dataset can be found in this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.09918.pdf

   • WidebandSig53, on the other hand, contains longer examples of 262,144 IQ samples with potentially multiple, non-overlapping (in time and frequency) signal classes present. This dataset is primarily meant to be used for signal detection & signal recognition research. More details on this dataset can be found in this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2211.10335.pdf

2. If using the SignalData object, the label for the WidebandSig53 dataset will be a list of SignalDescriptions, where each signal present in the data example has a SignalDescription element in the list. The WidebandSig53 dataset uses the DescToListTuple target transform at generation time, so when it is stored to disc, each example’s label is saved as a list of lists (rather than a list of SignalDescriptions), where the inner lists encompass the signal class, start, stop, center frequency, bandwidth, and SNR of each individual signal in the example.

Since I think the “issue” here is that we need better dataset documentation, I think we can close this as a duplicate of the existing issue @gvanhoy opened “Documentation: Better Dataset Documentation #18." Feel free to continue commenting with further questions in the meantime!

Hi,

Thanks for your explanation.

But I can't see how to generate Sig53 from the documentation, so does it already released or not?

Thanks,

Jie

Both datasets have been released. For examples and documentation on how to generate and use each dataset, check out the following notebooks in the examples directory:
- Sig53: https://github.com/TorchDSP/torchsig/blob/main/examples/00_example_sig53_dataset.ipynb
- WidebandSig53: https://github.com/TorchDSP/torchsig/blob/main/examples/03_example_widebandsig53_dataset.ipynb

Thanks！
