Exploratory Data Analysis

Exploratory data analysis (EDA) reveals several important distribution imbalances within the NSynth dataset. These inform both our modeling decisions and steps needed to prepare the data for downstream learning. Detailed distribution plots for Instrument Family (categories) and Instrument Qualities (timbral binary values) are provided in Figure 3.
