Dataset Card for the AMI dataset for speaker diarization

The AMI Meeting Corpus consists of 100 hours of meeting recordings. The recordings use a range of signals synchronized to a common timeline. These include close-talking and far-field microphones, individual and room-view video cameras, and output from a slide projector and an electronic whiteboard. During the meetings, the participants also have unsynchronized pens available to them that record what is written. The meetings were recorded in English using three different rooms with different acoustic properties, and include mostly non-native speakers.

Note: This dataset has been preprocessed using diarizers. It makes the dataset compatible with the diarizers library to fine-tune pyannote segmentation models.

Example Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("diarizers-community/ami", "ihm")

print(ds)

gives:

DatasetDict({
    train: Dataset({
        features: ['audio', 'timestamps_start', 'timestamps_end', 'speakers'],
        num_rows: 136
    })
    validation: Dataset({
        features: ['audio', 'timestamps_start', 'timestamps_end', 'speakers'],
        num_rows: 18
    })
    test: Dataset({
        features: ['audio', 'timestamps_start', 'timestamps_end', 'speakers'],
        num_rows: 16
    })
})
