Dataset Card for tedlium
Dataset Summary
The TED-LIUM corpus is English-language TED talks, with transcriptions, sampled at 16kHz. The three releases of the corpus range from 118 to 452 hours of transcribed speech data.
Example
from datasets import load_dataset
tedlium = load_dataset("LIUM/tedlium", "release1") # for Release 1
# see structure
print(tedlium)
# load audio sample on the fly
audio_input = tedlium["train"][0]["audio"] # first decoded audio sample
transcription = tedlium["train"][0]["text"] # first transcription
Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
automatic-speech-recognition
: The dataset can be used to train a model for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). The model is presented with an audio file and asked to transcribe the audio file to written text. The most common evaluation metric is the word error rate (WER). The task has an active leaderboard which can be found at https://paperswithcode.com/sota/speech-recognition-on-tedlium that ranks models based on their WER.
Languages
The audio and transcriptions are in English, as per the TED talks at http://www.ted.com.

Data Fields
- audio: A dictionary containing the path to the downloaded audio file, the decoded audio array, and the sampling rate. Note that when accessing the audio column:
dataset[0]["audio"]
the audio file is automatically decoded and resampled todataset.features["audio"].sampling_rate
. Decoding and resampling of a large number of audio files might take a significant amount of time. Thus it is important to first query the sample index before the"audio"
column, i.e.dataset[0]["audio"]
should always be preferred overdataset["audio"][0]
. - file: A path to the downloaded audio file in .sph format.
- text: the transcription of the audio file.
- gender: the gender of the speaker. One of: male, female or N/A.
- id: unique id of the data sample.
- speaker_id: unique id of the speaker. The same speaker id can be found for multiple data samples.
Data Splits
There are three releases for the TED-LIUM corpus, progressively increasing the number of transcribed speech training data from 118 hours (Release 1), to 207 hours (Release 2), to 452 hours (Release 3).
Release 1:
- 774 audio talks and automatically aligned transcriptions.
- Contains 118 hours of speech audio data.
- Homepage: https://www.openslr.org/7/
Release 2:
- 1495 audio talks and automatically aligned transcriptions.
- Contains 207 hours of speech audio data.
- Dictionary with pronunciations (159848 entries).
- Selected monolingual data for language modeling from WMT12 publicly available corpora.
- Homepage: https://www.openslr.org/19/
Release 3:
- 2351 audio talks and automatically aligned transcriptions.
- Contains 452 hours of speech audio data.
- TED-LIUM 2 validation and test data: 19 TED talks with their corresponding manual transcriptions.
- Dictionary with pronunciations (159848 entries), the same file as the one included in TED-LIUM 2.
- Selected monolingual data for language modeling from WMT12 publicly available corpora: these files come from the TED-LIUM 2 release, but have been modified to produce a tokenization more relevant for English language.
- Homepage: https://www.openslr.org/51/
Release 3 contains two different corpus distributions:
- The ‘legacy’ one, on which the dev and test datasets are the same as in TED-LIUM 2 (and TED-LIUM 1).
- The ‘speaker adaptation’ one, specially designed for experiments on speaker adaptation.
Each release is split into a training, validation and test set:
Split | Release 1 | Release 2 | Release 3 |
---|---|---|---|
Train | 56,803 | 92,973 | 268,263 |
Validation | 591 | 591 | 591 |
Test | 1,469 | 1,469 | 1,469 |
Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
TED-LIUM was built during The International Workshop on Spoken Language Trans- lation (IWSLT) 2011 Evaluation Campaign, an annual workshop focused on the automatic translation of public talks and included tracks for speech recognition, speech translation, text translation, and system combination.
Source Data
Initial Data Collection and Normalization
The data was obtained from publicly available TED talks at http://www.ted.com. Proper alignments between the speech and the transcribed text were generated using an in-house speaker segmentation and clustering tool (LIUM_SpkDiarization). Speech disfluencies (e.g. repetitions, hesitations, false starts) were treated in the following way: repetitions were transcribed, hesitations mapped to a specific filler word, and false starts not taken into account. For full details on the data collection and processing, refer to the TED-LIUM paper.
Who are the source language producers?
TED Talks are influential videos from expert speakers on education, business, science, tech and creativity.
