LAION-BVD — 10M Audio Clip URLs

This repository contains the metadata and captions for ~10 million audio clips randomly sampled from BVD-V-55M for large-scale audio pre-training.

The audio itself is not included in this repository — every clip is described by the URL of its source video plus the start_time/end_time offsets needed to reproduce it. The corresponding clip files are available in the gated laion/BVD-A-10M repository.

The gated subsets and BVD-RAW are available to academic and non-commercial researchers through a single central access request form; the BVD-RAW access guide describes the raw-corpus transfer procedure.
