| # Phonemized Child Directed Speech Dataset | |
| This dataset contains utterance downloaded from CHILDES which have been pre-processed and converted to phonemic transcriptions by this [processing script](https://github.com/codebyzeb/Corpus-Phonemicizers). Many of the columns from CHILDES have been preserved in case they may be useful for experiments (e.g. number of morphemes, part-of-speech tags, etc.). The key columns added by the processing script are as follows: | |
| | Column | Description | | |
| |:----|:-----| | |
| | `is_child`| Whether the utterance was spoken by a child or not. Note that this is set to `False` for all utterances in this dataset, but the processing script has the ability to preserve child utterances.| | |
| | `processed_gloss`| The pre-processed orthographic utterance. This includes lowercasing, fixing English spelling and adding punctuation marks. This is based on the [AOChildes](https://github.com/UIUCLearningLanguageLab/AOCHILDES) preprocessing.| | |
| | `phonemized_utterance`| A phonemic transcription of the utterance, space-separated with word boundaries marked with the `WORD_BOUNDARY` token.| | |
| | `language_code`| Language code used for producing the phonemic transcriptions. May not match the `language` column provided by CHILDES (e.g. Eng-NA and Eng-UK tend to be transcribed with en-us and en-gb). | | |
| | `character_split_utterance`| A space separated transcription of the utterance, produced simply by splitting the processed gloss by character. This is intended to have a very similar format to `phonemized_utterance` for studies comparing phonetic to orthographic transcriptions. | | |
| The last two columns are designed for training character-based (phoneme-based) language models using a simple tokenizer that splits around whitespace. The `processed_gloss` column is suitable for word-based (or subword-based) language models with standard tokenizers. | |
| Note that the data has been sorted by the `target_child_age` column, which stores child age in months. This can be used to limit the training data according to a maximum child age, if you wish. | |
| Each subset of the data is split into a training split containing most of the utterances and an in-distribution validation split containing 10,000 utterances. The following languages are included (ordered by number of phonemes): | |
| Language | Description | Speakers | Utterances | Words | Phonemes | % Child | |
