| ### MF: Male/Female for Forced Phonetic Alignment |
|
|
| This is a two-speaker dataset manually aligned at the phoneme level (Praat's |
| textgrid files provided). Each portion contains 200 instances from both a male |
| and a female speaker. This repo has been used as ground truth for the following |

|
| One major problem with both male and female datasets is that they were hand |
| aligned according to an unknown phoneset, which nobody really knows where it |
| actually came from. So it required some considerable amount of processing in |
| order to convert the original phoneset to the FalaBrasil phoneset, since the |
| latter is the one which all acoustic models are trained over. |
|
|
| Dataset original phone set: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| $ find male/textgrid -name "*.TextGrid" > filelist |
| $ while read line ; do awk '/phones/,/syll/' $line | grep 'text =' | awk '{print $3}' ; done < filelist | sort | uniq | sed 's/"//g' |

| ``` |

|
| FalaBrasil original phone set (see also our |
| [NLP Generator](https://gitlab.com/fb-nlp/nlp-generator) library, which |
| performs the G2P conversion): |
|
|
| ```bash |
| $ find male/textgrid_falabrasil -name "*.TextGrid" > filelist |
| $ while read line ; do awk '/"phones"/,/"syllphones"/' $line | grep 'text =' | awk '{print $3}' ; done < filelist | sort | uniq | sed 's/"//g' |
