# ARCADE: Arabic Radio Corpus for Audio Dialect Evaluation
|
| 55 |
+
|
| 56 |
+
ARCADE is a city-scale corpus of Arabic radio speech designed for fine-grained dialect identification. The dataset contains 6,907 audio clips (4,539 validated for modeling) collected from radio streams across 42 cities in 19 Arab countries.
|
| 57 |
+
|
| 58 |
+
## Dataset Description
|
| 59 |
+
|
| 60 |
+
Each 30-second audio clip is annotated with:
|
| 61 |
+
- **City and Country**: Fine-grained geographic labels at the city level
|
| 62 |
+
- **MSA or Dialect**: Whether the speech is Modern Standard Arabic, dialectal, mixed, or not applicable
|
| 63 |
+
- **Emotion**: Speaker emotion (neutral, happiness, anger, etc.)
|
| 64 |
+
- **Audio Type**: Single speaker, multiple speakers, music/no speech, or Quran recitation
|
| 65 |
+
- **Keep or Skip**: Whether the clip is suitable for dialect modeling
|
| 66 |
+
- **Confidence**: Annotator confidence level (sure, unsure, no idea)
|
| 67 |
+
|
| 68 |
+
## Intended Uses
|
| 69 |
+
|
| 70 |
+
- Fine-grained Arabic dialect identification at the city level
|
| 71 |
+
- Sociolinguistic studies of regional speech variation
|
| 72 |
+
- Multi-task learning combining dialect, emotion, and speaker classification
|
| 73 |
+
- Robustness evaluation under domain and channel shift
|
| 74 |
+
|
| 75 |
+
