  ### Dataset Summary
38
 
39
+ VoxDIY RusNews is the first publicly available large-scale dataset of crowdsourced audio transcriptions in Russian language.
40
+ The dataset was constructed by annotating audio recordings of Russian sentences from news domain on [Toloka crowdsourcing platform](https://toloka.ai).
41
+ VoxDIY RusNews consists of 3091 instances having around 21K annotations obtained from crowd workers.
42
+

+ ### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

51
+ ### Data Instances
52
+
53
+ A data instance contains a url to the audio recording, a list of transcriptions along with the corresponding performers identifiers and
54
+ ground truth. For each data instance, seven crowdsourced transcriptions are provided.

72
+ ### Source Data
73
+
74
+ The audio recordings were obtained using a [speech synthesis tool](https://cloud.yandex.com/en-ru/services/speechkit).
75
+ The source sentences come from the Russian test set of the machine translation shared task executed as a part of the
76
+ Eights and Ninth Workshops on Statistical Machine Translation ([WMT 2013](https://www.statmt.org/wmt13/) and [WMT 2014](https://www.statmt.org/wmt14/)).
77
+
78
+ ### Annotations
79
+
80
+ Annotation was done on [Toloka crowdsourcing platform](https://toloka.ai) with overlap of 7 (that is, each task was performed by 7 annotators).
81
+
82
+ Only annotators who self-reported the knowledge of Russian had access to the annotation task.
83
+ Additionally, annotators had to pass *Entrance Exam*. For this, we ask all incoming eligible workers to annotate ten audio
84
+ recordings. We then compute our target metric — Word Error Rate (WER) — on these recordings and accept to the main task all workers
85
+ who achieve WER of 40% or less (the smaller the value of the metric, the higher the quality of annotation).
86
+
87
+ The Toloka crowdsourcing platform associates workers with unique identifiers and returns these identifiers to the requester.
88
+ To further protect the data, we additionally encode each identifier with an integer that is eventually reported in our released datasets.
