# StressTest Evaluation Dataset

This dataset supports the evaluation of models on **Sentence Stress Reasoning (SSR)** and **Sentence Stress Detection (SSD)** tasks, as introduced in our paper:

**[StressTest: Can YOUR Speech LM Handle the Stress?](https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.22765)**

## 🗂️ Dataset Overview

This dataset includes **218** evaluation samples (split: `test`) with the following features:

* `transcription_id`: Identifier for each transcription sample.
* `transcription`: The spoken text.
* `description`: Description of the interpretation of the stress pattern.
* `intonation`: The stressed version of the transcription.
* `interpretation_id`: Unique reference to the interpretation imposed by the stress pattern of the sentence.
* `audio`: Audio data at 16kHz sampling rate.
* `metadata`: Structured metadata including:

  * `gender`: Speaker gender.
  * `language_code`: Language of the transcription.
  * `sample_rate_hertz`: Sampling rate in Hz.
  * `voice_name`: Voice name.
* `possible_answers`: List of possible interpretations for SSR.
* `label`: Ground truth label for SSR.
* `stress_pattern`: Structured stress annotation including:

  * `binary`: Sequence of 0/1 labels marking stressed words.
  * `indices`: Stressed word positions in the transcription.
  * `words`: The actual stressed words.
* `audio_lm_prompt`: The prompt used for SSR.

## Evaluate YOUR model

This dataset is designed for evaluating models following the protocol and scripts in our [StressTest repository](https://github.com/slp-rl/StressTest).

To evaluate a model, refer to the instructions in the repository. For example:

```bash
python -m stresstest.evaluation.main \
    --task ssr \
    --model_to_evaluate stresslm
```

Replace `ssr` with `ssd` for stress detection, and use your model’s name with `--model_to_evaluate`.

## How to use

This dataset is formatted for with the HuggingFace Datasets library:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("slprl/StressTest")
```
