| ### Dataset Summary | |
| Multilingual Spoken Words Corpus is a large and growing audio dataset of spoken | |
| words in 50 languages collectively spoken by over 5 billion people, for academic | |
| research and commercial applications in keyword spotting and spoken term search, | |
| licensed under CC-BY 4.0. The dataset contains more than 340,000 keywords, | |
| totaling 23.4 million 1-second spoken examples (over 6,000 hours). The dataset | |
| has many use cases, ranging from voice-enabled consumer devices to call center | |
| automation. This dataset is generated by applying forced alignment on crowd-sourced sentence-level | |
| audio to produce per-word timing estimates for extraction. | |
| All alignments are included in the dataset. | |
| Data is provided in two formats: `wav` (16KHz) and `opus` (48KHz). Default configurations look like | |
| `"{lang}_{format}"`, so to load, for example, Tatar in wav format do: | |
| ```python | |
| ds = load_dataset("MLCommons/ml_spoken_words", "tt_wav") | |
| ``` | |
| To download multiple languages in a single dataset pass list of languages to `languages` argument: | |
| ```python | |
| ds = load_dataset("MLCommons/ml_spoken_words", languages=["ar", "tt", "br"]) | |
| ``` | |
| To download a specific format pass it to the `format` argument (default format is `wav`): | |
| ```python | |
| ds = load_dataset("MLCommons/ml_spoken_words", languages=["ar", "tt", "br"], format="opus") | |
| ``` | |
| Note that each time you provide different sets of languages, | |
| examples are generated from scratch even if you already provided one or several of them before | |
| because custom configurations are created each time (the data is **not** redownloaded though). | |
| ### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards | |
| Keyword spotting, Spoken term search | |
| ### Languages | |
| The dataset is multilingual. To specify several languages to download pass a list of them to the | |
| `languages` argument: | |
| ```python | |
| ds = load_dataset("MLCommons/ml_spoken_words", languages=["ar", "tt", "br"]) | |
| ``` | |

| ## Dataset Structure | |
| ### Data Instances | |
| ```python | |
| {'file': 'абзар_common_voice_tt_17737010.opus', | |
| 'is_valid': True, | |
| 'language': 0, | |
| 'speaker_id': '687025afd5ce033048472754c8d2cb1cf8a617e469866bbdb3746e2bb2194202094a715906f91feb1c546893a5d835347f4869e7def2e360ace6616fb4340e38', | |
| 'gender': 0, | |
| 'keyword': 'абзар', | |
| 'audio': {'path': 'абзар_common_voice_tt_17737010.opus', | |
| 'array': array([2.03458695e-34, 2.03458695e-34, 2.03458695e-34, ..., | |
| 2.03458695e-34, 2.03458695e-34, 2.03458695e-34]), | |
| 'sampling_rate': 48000}} | |
| ``` | |
| ### Data Fields | |
| * file: strinrelative audio path inside the archive | |
| * is_valid: if a sample is valid | |
| * language: language of an instance. Makes sense only when providing multiple languages to the | |
| dataset loader (for example, `load_dataset("ml_spoken_words", languages=["ar", "tt"])`) | |
| * speaker_id: unique id of a speaker. Can be "NA" if an instance is invalid | |
| * gender: speaker gender. Can be one of `["MALE", "FEMALE", "OTHER", "NAN"]` | |
| * keyword: word spoken in a current sample | |
| * audio: a dictionary containing the relative path to the 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 to `dataset.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 over `dataset["audio"][0]` | |
| ### Data Splits | |
| The data for each language is splitted into train / validation / test parts. | |
