PhoneticQA-L2ARCTIC v0.1

PhoneticQA-L2ARCTIC is a small, word-level multiple-choice AudioQA probe derived from L2-ARCTIC. It was created and released by Haopeng Geng to study the gap between phoneme-level error annotations and perceptually salient mispronunciations.

Benchmark design

120 full-utterance audio questions: 24 dev and 96 test.
Each item shows the canonical transcript and four candidate words.
The task is to select the word that sounds most clearly mispronounced.
No phoneme- or word-level timestamps are shown.
Answer positions are balanced: A/B/C/D each occur 30 times.
Six L1 groups/speakers are represented: Arabic, Hindi, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
Release version: v0.1.0. The construction pipeline version was v0.3.0.

Question: Among the four listed words, which one sounds most clearly mispronounced?

Important status note

The answer keys are derived from L2-ARCTIC TextGrid error annotations and remain provisional_requires_human_validation. A single-listener review obtained 66/120 (55.00%). This result suggests that many annotation-derived targets are not necessarily the perceptually most salient error in an utterance.

Accordingly, this release should be treated as PhoneticQA-Probe, not a final human-consensus benchmark. It is useful for diagnosing annotation–perception mismatch and model behavior under difficult phonetic distinctions.

Fields

audio: URL of the full utterance audio.
transcript: canonical prompt shown to the evaluator.
options: four {id, text} choices.
answer: annotation-derived option letter.
target_word: word associated with the answer.
native_language: speaker L1 group.
split: dev or test.
input_condition: canonical_aware.
version: public benchmark release version.
construction_version: internal construction pipeline version.
gold_status: validation status of the answer key.

For blind model evaluation, remove answer and target_word before inference.
