This data is derived from the data collected in the SIAK project 2014-2018,
|
33 |
+
Participants agreed that their data can be published anonymously. Unfortunately the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
|
34 |
+
became effective before the data was ready for release, and the publication effort halted.
|
35 |
|
36 |
+
However the data was leased to an ill-fated startup that started operationsa few weeks before COVID-19 lockdowns.
|
37 |
+
This collection is a derivation of the SIAK data with any strongly identifying metadata removed for use by the now bankrupt startup.
|
38 |
|
39 |
+
We were involved in collecting, storing and processing the data in the SIAK project and have gone through the speech samples
|
40 |
+
in enough detail to be assured that the data can be regarded as non-personal and thus except from GDPR as it consists of only single words or very short utterance repetitions, making it next to impossible to identify a speaker.
