# THCHS-30 Segment

Mandarin Chinese read-speech corpus with **phone-level time alignments**.
Suitable for training and evaluating phone recognition and phonetic
segmentation models.

## Sources

- **Audio**: [THCHS-30](https://www.openslr.org/18/) (OpenSLR 18) by
  Dong Wang, Xuewei Zhang, Zhiyong Zhang (Tsinghua University, 2015).
- **Phone alignments**:
  [`anyspeech/THCHS-30-alignments`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/anyspeech/THCHS-30-alignments).

## Splits

| Split | Utterances |
|-------|------------|
| train | 10,000     |
| val   | 893        |
| test  | 2,495      |

Splits follow the original OpenSLR 18 directory partition
(`data_thchs30/{train,dev,test}`); `dev` is renamed to `val`.

## Schema

| Column         | Type                 | Description                                          |
|----------------|----------------------|------------------------------------------------------|
| `utt_id`       | string               | Utterance id, e.g. `A11_0`                           |
| `audio`        | Audio(16 kHz)        | Embedded waveform bytes (decoded on access)          |
| `text`         | string               | Hanzi sentence transcript                            |
| `phones`       | sequence[string]     | IPA phone tokens with tone diacritics                |
| `phone_starts` | sequence[float64]    | Phone start times in seconds                         |
| `phone_ends`   | sequence[float64]    | Phone end times in seconds                           |
| `language`     | string               | `cmn` (ISO 639-3)                                    |
| `speaker_id`   | string               | Speaker code (utt_id prefix, e.g. `A11`)             |
| `duration`     | float64              | Utterance duration in seconds                        |
| `split`        | string               | `train` / `val` / `test`                             |

## Phone inventory

Phones are IPA with Mandarin tone diacritics, e.g.
`lː`, `y˥˩`, `ʂ˘`, `ɻ̩˥˩`, `a˧˥˘`. Silence and pauses are marked with
`[SIL]` intervals, which are kept in the alignment so boundary models can
learn from them.
