64
+ ## Uses
65
+
66
+ ### Direct Use
67
+
68
+ This dataset is intended for use in training and evaluating voice recognition models, particularly for applications in gender classification.
69
+
70
+
71
+ ### Out-of-Scope Use
72
+
73
+ The dataset is not suitable for applications requiring a wide range of dialects or non-English languages. It is also not designed for identifying fine-grained demographic characteristics beyond gender.
74
+ You agree not to attempt to identify the individuals in the dataset.
75
+
76
+ ## Dataset Structure
77
+
78
+ ### Data Fields
79
+
80
+ - **client_id:** A unique identifier for each participant.
81
+ - **audio:** Audio recording of a spoken sentence.
82
+ - **sentence:** The text content of the audio recording.
83
+ - **age:** Categorical age group of the participant.
84
+ - **gender:** Gender of the participant (balanced representation).
85
+ - **accent:** Accent information of the participant, if available.
86
+
87
+ ### Splits
88
+
89
+ - **Train:** 6,075 examples (2,025 of each gender).
90
+ - **Test:** 1,812 examples (604 of each gender).
91
+
92
+
93
+ ## Dataset Creation
94
+
95
+ ### Curation Rationale
96
+
97
+ The dataset was specifically curated to address gender imbalance in voice recognition datasets, aiming to provide a balanced representation of male, female, and non-binary voices.
98
+
99
+ ### Source Data
100
+
101
+ #### Data Collection and Processing
102
+
103
+ Derived from Mozilla's Common Voice project, the dataset underwent additional processing to balance gender representation and limit the dominance of any single voice.
104
+
105
+
106
+ ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
107
+
108
+ Despite efforts to balance gender representation, the dataset may still have biases, such as over-representation of certain accents or age groups. It's not comprehensive in representing all possible variations in English speech.
109
+ Since the original dataset contains relatively few female and even fewer non-binary voices, the dataset becomes quite small when filtered down.
