# DACS: Dialectal Arabic Code-Switching Dataset
|
| 13 |
+
|
| 14 |
+
This release includes **2 hours of annotated Egyptian Arabic speech** from the **ADI-5 development split** in the **MGB-3 Challenge**.
|
| 15 |
+
|
| 16 |
+
## Overview
|
| 17 |
+
|
| 18 |
+
Unlike the original **MGB-3:EGY** data, this corpus has been **manually segmented** into smaller utterances based on pauses of **≥500 ms of silence**.
|
| 19 |
+
Each utterance has been **verbatim transcribed** by a lay **native Egyptian speaker**.
|
| 20 |
+
|
| 21 |
+
The released MGB-3 data includes both **speech features** and **textual features** extracted from ASR transcriptions.
|
| 22 |
+
|
| 23 |
+
## Annotation Details
|
| 24 |
+
|
| 25 |
+
The transcribed data was further **annotated for word-level Code-Switching (CS)** by **three independent annotators**.
|
| 26 |
+
Following the guidelines described in the associated paper, each word was classified into one of the following four categories:
|
| 27 |
+
|
| 28 |
+
- **MSA** — Modern Standard Arabic word with MSA pronunciation
|
| 29 |
+
- **EGY** — Egyptian dialect word
|
| 30 |
+
- **MIX** — MSA word with dialectal pronunciation
|
| 31 |
+
- **FRN** — Foreign word (i.e., non-Arabic)
|
| 32 |
+
|
| 33 |
+
An additional tag **NULL** was used for unintelligible words or those that could not be categorized into any of the four labels.
|
| 34 |
