# Dataset Card for Dataset Name |
|
|
|
<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. --> |
|
|
|
FeruzaSpeech is a read speech dataset |
|
of the Uzbek language, transcribed in both Cyrillic |
|
and Latin alphabets, freely available for academic research pur- |
|
poses. It includes 60 hours of high-quality recordings |
|
from a single native female speaker from Tashkent, Uzbekistan. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Details |
|
|
|
|
|
- **Language(s) (NLP):** Uzbek |
|
- **License:** Other |
|
|
|
|
|
## Uses |
|
|
|
|
|
### Direct Use |
|
|
|
This dataset is intended to be used for Uzbek speech-to-text purposes, especially as a supplement to existing Uzbek datasets. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Structure |
|
|
|
<!-- This section provides a description of the dataset fields, and additional information about the dataset structure such as criteria used to create the splits, relationships between data points, etc. --> |
|
|
|
FeruzaSpeech includes "Train", ”Dev” (development) and ”Test” (testing) sets. The corpus contains high-quality, single-channel, 16-bit .wav |
|
audio files, available in 16kHz for ASR. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Subset | Duration | |
|
| ------------- | ------------- | |
|
| Train | 52.09h | |
|
| Dev | 2.93h| |
|
| Test | 4.08h | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Creation |
|
|
|
### Curation Rationale |
|
|
|
To augment the Uzbek open-source speech-to-text datasets available for research. |
|
|
|
|
|
### Source Data |
|
|
|
Data consists of the Uzbek book, Calikusu, and BBC news articles. |
|
|
|
### Who are the source language producers? |
|
|
|
One female native Uzbek speaker, from Tashkent, Uzbekistan, producing read speech in a perfect recording environment. |
|
|
|
#### Annotation process |
|
|
|
Recordings were read from Cyrrilic excerpts of a book and some BBC news articles, which were later converted to Latin using online tools, with some |
|
grammatical errors being manually fixed after the use of the conversion calculator. The average recording length was 16 seconds, the minimum length was 4 seconds, |
|
and the maximum length is 51 seconds. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Biases |
|
|
|
This dataset only contains audio from a single female speaker, so male speakers are not accounted for. The speaker also has a dialect found in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, so other dialects of Uzbek are not considerde in this dataset. |
|
|
|
|
|
### Other Limitations |
|
|
|
The data is more formal as it is sourced from a novel and news articles, which doesn't account for casual speech. |
