Information

This repo contains the data used to develop and test the Tunisian Arabic Automatic Speech Recognition model developed in the following paper :

A. A. Ben Abdallah*, A. Kabboudi, A. Kanoun, and S. Zaiem*, “Leveraging data collection and unsupervised learning for code-switched tunisian arabic automatic speech recognition”, Submitted to ICASSP 2024, vol. * : These two authors have contributed equally. 2023.

It contains 4 zipped folders containing audio data :

• TunSwitchCS.zip : containing annotated code-switched data.
• TunSwitchTO.zip : containing annotated Tunisian-Only data.
• weakly_labeled_tn.zip : containing weakly-labeled (or unlabeled) audio data. Audios may contain code-switching, but the current weak labels do not.
• test_wavs.zip : contains annotated testing data, divided between a code-switched part and a tunisian-only part.

It also contains textual data, used for language modelling, contained in TextData.zip. Finally it also contains a language-detailed annotation of TunSwitchCS in the language_annotation.zip file .

More details about the data are available in the paper. The current table are in a SpeechBrain-friendly format, the column path is irrelevant and has to be changed according to your local setting. Please use the provided train-dev-test splits if you work with this dataset.

Please cite the aforementioned paper if you use or refer to this dataset. You can find models trained and tested on this dataset Here. Space demos are also available.
