Task: Question Generation
Input (English): We conducted our experiments on the CMU ARCTIC database BIBREF33, which contains parallel recordings of professional US English speakers sampled at 16 kHz. One female (slt) was chosen as the target speaker and one male (bdl) and one female (clb) were chosen as sources. We selected 100 utterances each for validation and evaluation, and the other 932 utterances were used as training data. For the TTS corpus, we chose a US female English speaker (judy bieber) from the M-AILABS speech dataset BIBREF34 to train a single-speaker Transformer-TTS model. With the sampling rate also at 16 kHz, the training set contained 15,200 utterances, which were roughly 32 hours long.
Output (English): What datasets are experimented with?
