# DisfluencySpeech Dataset |
|
|
|
The DisfluencySpeech Dataset is a single-speaker studio-quality labeled English speech dataset with paralanguage. |
|
A single speaker recreates nearly 10 hours of expressive utterances from the Switchboard-1 Telephone Speech Corpus |
|
(Switchboard), simulating realistic informal conversations. To aid the development of a text-to-speech (TTS) model that is able to |
|
predictively synthesise paralanguage from text without such components, we provide three different transcripts at |
|
different levels of information removal (removal of non-speech events, removal of non-sentence elements, |
|
and removal of false starts). |
|
|
|
Read the paper [here](https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.08820). |
|
|
|
Benchmark TTS models for each transcript can be found here: [Transcript A](https://huggingface.co/amaai-lab/DisfluencySpeech_BenchmarkA), [Transcript B](https://huggingface.co/amaai-lab/DisfluencySpeech_BenchmarkB), and [Transcript C](https://huggingface.co/amaai-lab/DisfluencySpeech_BenchmarkC). |

# Dataset Details |
|
|
|
All audio files are provided as 22,050 hz _.wav_ files. In the _metadata.csv_ file, 4 different transcripts for each file are provided, |
|
each at differing levels of information removal: |
|
|
|
- _transcript_annotated_ is a full transcript retaining all non-speech event and disfluency annotations; |
|
- _transcript_a_ contains all textual content recorded, including non-sentence elements and restarts. Only non-speech events such as laughter and sighs are removed from transcript; |
|
- _transcript_b_ is _transcript_a_ but with filled pauses, explicit editing terms, and discourse markers removed. Coordinating conjunctions and asides are left in, as they are non-sentence elements as well, they are often used to convey meaning; and |
|
- _transcript_c_ is _transcript_b_ but with false starts removed. This is the most minimal transcript. |
|
|
|
The training set contains 90% of the data, the validation set contains 5% of the data, and the test set contains 5% of the data. |
