|
| We introduce TEDxTN, the first publicly available Tunisian Arabic to English |
| speech translation dataset. This work is in line with the ongoing effort to mitigate the data |
| scarcity obstacle for a number of Arabic dialects. We collected, segmented, transcribed |
| and translated 108 TEDx talks following our internally developed annotations guidelines. The |
| collected talks represent 25 hours of speech with code-switching that cover speakers with |
| various accents from over 11 different regions of Tunisia. |
