Accented Speech Fragments
The Accented Speech Fragments dataset is a large curated collection of short speech samples designed for speaker identification and contrastive speaker embedding (voice printing).
Each speaker in the dataset is uniquely identified by a speaker ID and is associated with multiple speech samples (2 x 0.5s samples per row; 16 rows per speaker, totally 16 x '2 samples' x '0.5 seconds' = 16 seconds of raw audio). This structure makes the dataset particularly suitable for training contrastive learning models, where the goal is to distinguish between different speakers based on their voice characteristics.
Usage
In order to load the dataset from the hub, you can use the datasets library:
ds = datasets.load_dataset(
"ThBel/Accented-Speech-Fragments",
split='train', # 'train' or 'test'
streaming=True # (optional)
)
for item in ds:
# Do something with data
print(item['speaker_id']) # or item['audio0'] or item['audio1']
Alternatively you may clone the ThBel/Accented-Speech-Fragments repository, and load the underlying parquet files using pandas.read_parquet.
