This repository introduces: πŸŒ€ *ShiftySpeech*: A Large-Scale Synthetic Speech Dataset with Distribution Shifts
## πŸ”₯ Key Features
- 3000+ hours of synthetic speech
- **Diverse Distribution Shifts**: The dataset spans **7 key distribution shifts**, including:
- πŸ“– **Reading Style**
- πŸŽ™οΈ **Podcast**
- πŸŽ₯ **YouTube**
- πŸ—£οΈ **Languages (Three different languages)**
- 🌎 **Demographics (including variations in age, accent, and gender)**
- **Multiple Speech Generation Systems**: Includes data synthesized from various **TTS models** and **vocoders**.
## πŸ’‘ Why We Built This Dataset
> Driven by advances in self-supervised learning for speech, state-of-the-art synthetic speech detectors have achieved low error rates on popular benchmarks such as ASVspoof. However, prior benchmarks do not address the wide range of real-world variability in speech. Are reported error rates realistic in real-world conditions? To assess detector failure modes and robustness under controlled distribution shifts, we introduce **ShiftySpeech**, a benchmark with more than 3000 hours of synthetic speech from 7 domains, 6 TTS systems, 12 vocoders, and 3 languages.
## βš™οΈ Usage
Ensure that you have soundfile or librosa installed for proper audio decoding:
```bash
pip install soundfile librosa
```
##### πŸ“Œ Example: Loading the AISHELL Dataset Vocoded with APNet2
```bash
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("ash56/ShiftySpeech", data_files={"data": f"Vocoders/apnet2/apnet2_aishell_flac.tar.gz"})["data"]
```
**⚠️ Note:** It is recommended to load data from a specific folder to avoid unnecessary memory usage.
The source datasets covered by different TTS and Vocoder systems are listed in [tts.yaml](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ash56/ShiftySpeech/blob/main/tts.yaml) and [vocoders.yaml](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ash56/ShiftySpeech/blob/main/vocoders.yaml)
