+ # 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
+ ## Dataset Statistics
76
+
77
+ - **Total clips**: 6,907
78
+ - **Validated clips**: 4,539 (65.7%)
79
+ - **Cities**: 42
80
+ - **Countries**: 19
81
+ - **Clip duration**: 30 seconds
