### Dataset Summary |
|
|
|
*4catac: examples of phonetic transcription in 4 Catalan accents* is a dataset of phonetic transcriptions in four Catalan accents: Balearic, Central, North-Western and Valencian. |
|
It consists of 160 sentences transcribed using [IPA](https://www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/content/full-ipa-chart), following the [recommendations of the Institut d'Estudis Catalans](https://publicacions.iec.cat/repository/pdf/00000041/00000087.pdf). |
|
These sentences are the same for the four accents but may have small morphological adaptations to make them more natural for the accent. |

|
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards |
|
|
|
This dataset can be utilized to evaluate phonetic transcription systems across four distinct Catalan accents: Balearic, Central, North-Western and Valencian. |
|
|
|
### Languages |
|
|
|
The dataset is in Catalan (ca-ES). |
|
|
|
## Dataset Structure |
|
|
|
### Data Instances |
|
|
|
Four tsv files, one for each accent: |
|
|
|
* Projecte BSC frases - Balear.tsv |
|
* Projecte BSC frases - Central.tsv |
|
* Projecte BSC frases - Nord-Occ.tsv |
|
* Projecte BSC frases - Val.tsv |
|
|
|
### Data Fields |
|
|
|
The data fields are the same among all the files: |
|
|
|
* `column A` (str): sentence |
|
* `column B` (str): transcription |
|
|
|
|
|
### Data Splits |
|
|
|
There is only one split for each accent. |
|
|
|
## Dataset Creation |
|
|
|
### Curation Rationale |
|
|
|
We created this dataset to thoroughly evaluate transcription systems across the diverse variants of Catalan. |
|
We expect that this dataset will contribute to the development of language models in Catalan, a low-resource language. |
|
Language technologies in Catalan often overlook some of its variants. With the publication of this dataset, we aim to address this bias. |
|
|
|
### Source Data |
|
|
|
We commissioned the creation of these sentences and their transcriptions to a team of experts at [CLiC (Centre de Llenguatge i Computació)](https://clic.ub.edu/en/que-es-clic). |
|
|
|
#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization |
|
|
|
We commissioned the creation of these sentences and their transcriptions to a team of experts at [CLiC (Centre de Llenguatge i Computació)](https://clic.ub.edu/en/que-es-clic). |
|
|
|
#### Who are the source language producers? |
|
|
|
The original sentences were intentionally written to showcase various phonetic phenomena across Catalan accents. The task was entrused to [CLiC (Centre de Llenguatge i Computació)](https://clic.ub.edu/en/que-es-clic). |
|
|
|
### Annotations |
|
|
|
#### Annotation process |
|
|
|
Each member of the annotation team proposed part of the sentences and transcribed them. |
|
Each transcription was reviewed by the other team members and discussed until a consensus was reached. |
|
To do the annotation they used a Google Drive spreadsheet. |
|
They also developed the specifications for the criteria used. These guidelines will be published soon on Zenodo. |
|
|
|
#### Who are the annotators? |
|
|
|
The annotation was entrusted to the [CLiC (Centre de Llenguatge i Computació)](https://clic.ub.edu/en/que-es-clic) team from the University of Barcelona. |
|
They selected a group of three annotators (two men and one woman), who received a scholarship to do this work. |
|
|
|
The annotation team was composed of: |
|
|
|
* 2 male annotators, aged 18-25, L1 Catalan, students in the Catalan Philology degree. |
|
* 1 female annotator, aged 18-25, L1 Catalan, student in the Modern Languages and Literatures degree, with a focus on Catalan. |
|
* 1 female supervisor, aged 40-50, L1 Catalan, graduate in Physics and Linguistics, Ph.D. in Signal Theory and Communications. |

### Personal and Sensitive Information |
|
|
|
This dataset doesn't contain any personal or sensitive information. |
|
|
|
## Considerations for Using the Data |
|
|
|
### Social Impact of Dataset |
|
|
|
We expect that this dataset will contribute to the development of language models in Catalan, a low-resource language. |
|
Language technologies in Catalan often overlook some of its variants. With the publication of this dataset, we aim to address this bias. |
|
|
|
### Discussion of Biases |
|
|
|
It is a very small dataset developed to evaluate phonetic transcription systems. |
|
We didn't identify any biases or risks in the dataset. |
|
|
|
### Other Known Limitations |
|
|
|
[N/A] |
