## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

Each datapoint has a path to the audio/video clip along with metadata about the speaker.

```
{
  'file': '/datasets/downloads/extracted/[hash]/wav/id10271/_YimahVgI1A/00003.wav',
  'file_format': 'wav',
  'dataset_id': 'vox1',
  'speaker_id': 'id10271',
  'speaker_gender': 'm',
  'speaker_name': 'Ed_Westwick',
  'speaker_nationality': 'UK',
  'video_id': '_YimahVgI1A',
  'clip_id': '00003',
  'audio': {
    'path': '/datasets/downloads/extracted/[hash]/wav/id10271/_YimahVgI1A/00003.wav',
    'array': array([...], dtype=float32),
    'sampling_rate': 16000
  }
}
```

### Data Fields

Each row includes the following fields:
- `file`: The path to the audio/video clip
- `file_format`: The file format in which the clip is stored (e.g. `wav`, `aac`, `mp4`)
- `dataset_id`: The ID of the dataset this clip is from (`vox1`, `vox2`)
- `speaker_id`: The ID of the speaker in this clip
- `speaker_gender`: The gender of the speaker (`m`/`f`)
- `speaker_name` (VoxCeleb1 only): The full name of the speaker in the clip
- `speaker_nationality` (VoxCeleb1 only): The speaker's country of origin
- `video_id`: The ID of the video from which this clip was taken
- `clip_index`: The index of the clip for this specific video
- `audio` (Audio dataset only): The audio signal data

### Data Splits

The dataset has a predefined dev set and test set. The dev set has been renamed to a "train" split.
