### Dataset Summary | |
VoxDIY RusNews is the first publicly available large-scale dataset of crowdsourced audio transcriptions in Russian language. | |
The dataset was constructed by annotating audio recordings of Russian sentences from news domain on [Toloka crowdsourcing platform](https://toloka.ai). | |
VoxDIY RusNews consists of 3091 instances having around 21K annotations obtained from crowd workers. | |
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards | |
Aggregation of crowd transcriptions. | |
### Languages | |
Russian | |
## Dataset Structure | |
### Data Instances | |
A data instance contains a url to the audio recording, a list of transcriptions along with the corresponding performers identifiers and | |
ground truth. For each data instance, seven crowdsourced transcriptions are provided. | |
``` | |
{'task': 'https://tlk.s3.yandex.net/annotation_tasks/russian/1003.wav', | |
'transcriptions': 'в список так же попали мэрлин монро джон ленон и альберт эйнштейн | в список также попали мерлин монро джон ленон и альберт энштейн | в список также попали мерилин монро джон леннон и альберт энтштейн | в список также попали мэрилин монро джон леннон и альберт эпштейн | в список также попали мэрилин монро джон леннон и альберт эйнштейн | в список так же попали мерелин монро джон ленон и альберт нштейн | в список также попали мэрилин монро джон леннон и альберт эйнштейн', | |
'performers': '1743 | 784 | 1014 | 1572 | 744 | 2187 | 1208', | |
'gt': 'в список также попали мэрилин монро джон леннон и альберт эйнштейн'} | |
``` | |
### Data Fields | |
* task: a string containing a url of the audio recording | |
* transcriptions: a list of the crowdsourced transcriptions separated by '|' | |
* performers: the corresponding performers' identifiers. | |
* gt: ground truth transcription | |
## Dataset Creation | |
### Source Data | |
The audio recordings were obtained using a [speech synthesis tool](https://cloud.yandex.com/en-ru/services/speechkit). | |
The source sentences come from the Russian test set of the machine translation shared task executed as a part of the | |
Eights and Ninth Workshops on Statistical Machine Translation ([WMT 2013](https://www.statmt.org/wmt13/) and [WMT 2014](https://www.statmt.org/wmt14/)). | |
### Annotations | |
Annotation was done on [Toloka crowdsourcing platform](https://toloka.ai) with overlap of 7 (that is, each task was performed by 7 annotators). | |
Only annotators who self-reported the knowledge of Russian had access to the annotation task. | |
Additionally, annotators had to pass *Entrance Exam*. For this, we ask all incoming eligible workers to annotate ten audio | |
recordings. We then compute our target metric — Word Error Rate (WER) — on these recordings and accept to the main task all workers | |
who achieve WER of 40% or less (the smaller the value of the metric, the higher the quality of annotation). | |
The Toloka crowdsourcing platform associates workers with unique identifiers and returns these identifiers to the requester. | |
To further protect the data, we additionally encode each identifier with an integer that is eventually reported in our released datasets. | |
