+ # 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.
