# Dataset Card for the AMI dataset for speaker diarization

The AMI Meeting Corpus consists of 100 hours of meeting recordings. The recordings use a range of signals
synchronized to a common timeline. These include close-talking and far-field microphones, individual and
room-view video cameras, and output from a slide projector and an electronic whiteboard. During the meetings,
the participants also have unsynchronized pens available to them that record what is written. The meetings
were recorded in English using three different rooms with different acoustic properties, and include mostly
non-native speakers.

**Note**: This dataset has been preprocessed using [diarizers](https://github.com/huggingface/diarizers/tree/main/datasets). 
It makes the dataset compatible with the `diarizers` library to fine-tune [pyannote](https://huggingface.co/pyannote/segmentation-3.0) segmentation models. 


### Example Usage


```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("diarizers-community/ami", "ihm")

print(ds)
```
gives:
```
DatasetDict({
    train: Dataset({
        features: ['audio', 'timestamps_start', 'timestamps_end', 'speakers'],
        num_rows: 136
    })
    validation: Dataset({
        features: ['audio', 'timestamps_start', 'timestamps_end', 'speakers'],
        num_rows: 18
    })
    test: Dataset({
        features: ['audio', 'timestamps_start', 'timestamps_end', 'speakers'],
        num_rows: 16
    })
})
```
