The Serbian Parliamentary Spoken Dataset ParlaSpeech-RS 1.0
http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1834
The ParlaSpeech-RS dataset is built from the transcripts of parliamentary proceedings available in the Serbian part of the ParlaMint corpus, and the parliamentary recordings available from the Serbian Parliament's YouTube channel.
The corpus consists of audio segments that correspond to specific sentences in the transcripts. The transcript contains word-level alignments to the recordings, each instance consisting of character and millisecond start and end offsets, allowing for simple further segmentation of long sentences into shorter segments for ASR and other memory-sensitive applications. Sequences longer than 30 seconds have already been removed from this dataset, which should allow for a simple usage on most modern GPUs.
Each segment has an identifier reference to the ParlaMint 4.0 corpus (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1859) via the utterance ID and character offsets.
While in the original dataset all the speaker information from the ParlaMint corpus is available via the speaker_info attribute, in the HuggingFace version only a subset of metadata is available, namely: the date, the name of the speaker, their gender, year of birth, party affiliation at that point in time, status of the party at that point in time (coalition or opposition), and party orientation (left, right, centre etc.).
Different to the original dataset, this version has also a text_normalised attribute, which contains the text with parliamentary comments ([[Applause]] and similar) removed. Also, different to the other ParlaSpeech corpora on HuggingFace, this dataset has two additional text columns, text_cyrillic and text_cyrillic_normalised, with Cyrillic transliteration of the corresponding columns, for simpler downstream usage, given that Serbian is a digraphic language.
