Licence for the recordings?
Thank you for releasing this. A labelled set of non-native recitations
judged by proficient reciters is hard to find, and it's exactly what I've
been missing.
The licence field on the repo is empty. The arXiv paper is CC BY 4.0, but
that covers the paper rather than the audio — could you say what terms
apply to the recordings?
My use would be evaluation only. I'm building a free, non-commercial,
offline Qur'an memorisation app, and I want to measure how often its
checker misses a real learner's mistake. Every threshold in it is tuned on
professional reciters at the moment, which I think makes it quietly worse
for the people it's actually for. I wouldn't redistribute the audio or
train on it, and I'd cite the paper. Happy to share the per-clip results
back.
One thing I noticed in the metadata: 52 rows are labelled under_14 and 227
are 14-18. If consent for the minors' recordings was scoped to your own
study, I'd rather leave those out — do say.
