Improve dataset card: Update license, add explicit links, and enhance tags and structure
Browse filesThis PR improves the dataset card for the Balalaika dataset by:
- Correcting the license in the YAML metadata to `cc-by-nc-nd-4.0` to accurately reflect the dataset's license stated in the card content.
- Adding an explicit link to the associated paper on Hugging Face Papers (`https://huggingface.co/papers/2507.13563`).
- Adding a direct link to the GitHub repository (`https://github.com/mtuciru/balalaika`) for easier access to the code.
- Adding additional relevant tags to the metadata (`russian`, `audio`, `speech-synthesis`, `speech-enhancement`) for better discoverability.
- Restructuring the top section of the dataset card for better readability and information hierarchy, including an explicit "Abstract" section.

Russian speech synthesis presents distinctive challenges, including vowel reduction, consonant devoicing, variable stress patterns, homograph ambiguity, and unnatural intonation. This paper introduces Balalaika, a novel dataset comprising more than 2,000 hours of studio-quality Russian speech with comprehensive textual annotations, including punctuation and stress markings. Experimental results show that models trained on Balalaika significantly outperform those trained on existing datasets in both speech synthesis and enhancement tasks.
