  Musical instruments recognition is a widely used application for music
information retrieval. As most of previous musical instruments recognition
dataset focus on western musical instruments, it is difficult for researcher to
study and evaluate the area of traditional Chinese musical instrument
recognition. This paper propose a traditional Chinese music dataset for
training model and performance evaluation, named ChMusic. This dataset is free
and publicly available, 11 traditional Chinese musical instruments and 55
traditional Chinese music excerpts are recorded in this dataset. Then an
evaluation standard is proposed based on ChMusic dataset. With this standard,
researchers can compare their results following the same rule, and results from
different researchers will become comparable.
