| # CCU Multilingual Speech Dataset |
|
|
| ## Dataset Summary |
| This dataset contains segmented speech audio and transcripts for multiple languages: |
| Korean (ko), Chinese (zh), Hebrew (he), and Turkish (tr).It was inspired by data collected for the DARPA CCU [(Cross-Cultural Understanding Program)] (https://www.darpa.mil/research/programs/computational-cultural-understanding) and meant to resemble that data. |
|
|
| Data is organized by language/split folders such as: |
| - `ko_train` |
| - `ko_dev` |
| - `ko_test` |
| (and similarly for `zh`, `he`, `tr`) |
|
|
| Each split includes: |
| - `<split>.tsv` (metadata / transcript table) |
| - audio files under `files_000/`, `files_001/`, ... (for large splits) |
|
|
| ## Languages |
| - ko (Korean) |
| - zh (Chinese) |
| - he (Hebrew) |
| - tr (Turkish) |
|
|
| ## Data Fields |
| TSV columns are: |
| - audio path (relative path to wav file) |
| - transcript / text |
|
|
|
|
| ## Splits |
| Current split naming convention: |
| - `<lang>_train` |
| - `<lang>_dev` |
| - `<lang>_test` |
|
|
| Example: |
| - `ko_train/train.tsv` |
| - `ko_dev/dev.tsv` |
| - `ko_test/test.tsv` |

| ## Licensing |
| This release uses a filtered subset from the original data collection process intended to include Creative Commons licensed content. |
| The license details for the data are in the files `license_lang_filtered.csv` |
|
|
| ## Dataset Creation |
| Audio was segmented from source media and exported as WAV for ASR use. |
| Large splits may store audio in multiple subdirectories (`files_000`, `files_001`, ...) to satisfy repository file-count limits. |
|
|
| ## Intended Uses |
| - ASR model training |
| - ASR evaluation across languages |
| - Multilingual speech research |
| - Cultural understanding research |
|
|
| ## Limitations |
| - Transcript quality may vary by language/source. |
| - Source-domain bias is possible. |
| - Users should independently verify licensing and suitability for downstream use. |
