# Propicto-orféo

## Dataset Description

Propicto-orféo is a dataset of aligned speech-id/transcription/pictograms (the pictograms correspond to the identifier associated with an ARASAAC pictogram) in French.
It was created from the CEFC-Orféo corpus. This dataset was presented in the research paper titled ["A Multimodal French Corpus of Aligned Speech, Text, and Pictogram Sequences for Speech-to-Pictogram Machine Translation](https://aclanthology.org/2024.lrec-main.76/)" at LREC-Coling 2024. The dataset was split into training, validation, and test sets.

Propicto-orféo contains three CSV files : train, valid and test, with the following statistics :
| **Split** | **Number of utterances** |
|:-----------:|:-----------------------:|
| train | 231 374 |
| valid | 28 796 |
| test | 29 009 |

## Dataset Structure

Each file contains the following information :
```csv
id : the unique identifier of the utterance, which corresponds to a unique audio clip file (in wav) for the orféo dataset
text : the transcription of the audio clip
pictos : the sequence of id pictograms from ARASAAC
tokens : the sequence of tokens, each of them is the keyword associated to the ARASAAC id pictogram
```

## Dataset example

For the given sample :
```csv
id : cefc-cfpb-1000-5-1186
text : tu essayes de mélanger les deux
pictos : [6625, 26144, 7074, 5515, 5367]
tokens : toi essayer de mélanger à_côté_de
```

- The clip is from the Orféo subcorpus [CFPB, 1000-5](https://orfeo.ortolang.fr/annis-sample/cfpb/CFPB-1000-5.html), with the sentence ID 1186.<br />
- The text is the associated transcription, in en : “you try to mix the two”.<br />
- Pictos is the sequence of pictogram IDs, each of them can be retrieved from here : 6625 = https://static.arasaac.org/pictograms/6625/6625_2500.png<br />
- Tokens are retrieved from a specific lexicon and can be used to train translation models.

## Uses

Propicto-orféo is intended to be used to train Speech-to-Pictograms translation and Text-to-Pictograms translation models. 
This dataset can also be used to fine-tune large language models to perform translation into pictograms. 

## Dataset Creation

The dataset is created by applying a specific formalism that converts french oral transcriptions into a corresponding sequence of pictograms.<br />
The formalism includes a set of grammatical rules to handle specific phenomenon (negation, name entities, pronominal form, plural, ...) to the French language, as well as a dictionary which associates each ARASAAC ID pictogram with a set of keywords (tokens).<br />
This formalism was presented at [LREC](https://aclanthology.org/2024.lrec-main.76/).

Source Data : conversations / meetings / daily life situations (oral transcriptions)

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

The translation can be partially incorrect, due to incorrect or missing words translated into pictograms.
