# FLiP-data

Preprocessed data for the paper [FLiP: Towards understanding and interpreting multimodal multilingual sentence embeddings](https://huggingface.co/papers/2604.18109).

FLiP trains a factorized log-linear model to recover lexical content (keywords) from pretrained sentence embeddings via a single linear projection, with no fine-tuning of the encoder. The project code is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/BUTSpeechFIT/FLiP).

## Contents

SONAR embeddings and transcripts for **Mozilla Common Voice v15 English** (train / dev / test):

| File | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `*_speech_embs.npy` | SONAR speech embeddings (float32, shape `[N, 1024]`) |
| `*_text_embs.npy` | SONAR text embeddings (float32, shape `[N, 1024]`) |
| `*_sim_scores.npy` | Cosine similarity between paired speech and text embeddings |
| `*_transcript.txt` | Reference transcripts (one utterance per line) |
| `*_entities_gemini2.5_flash_lite.jsonl` | Named entities extracted with Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite |

Splits: `train` (~650k utterances), `dev`, `test`.

## Source data

Embeddings were computed from [Mozilla Common Voice v15](https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/) English using the [SONAR](https://github.com/facebookresearch/SONAR) encoder. Audio and transcripts from Common Voice are licensed under [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

## Usage

See the [FLiP GitHub repo](https://github.com/BUTSpeechFIT/FLiP) for full installation instructions and training/evaluation scripts.

Quick start after downloading:

```python
import numpy as np

train_speech = np.load("cv_15/en/sonar_embeddings/train_speech_embs.npy")
train_text   = np.load("cv_15/en/sonar_embeddings/train_text_embs.npy")
```
