Dataset Card for VIVOS

Dataset Summary

VIVOS is a free Vietnamese speech corpus consisting of 15 hours of recording speech prepared for Vietnamese Automatic Speech Recognition task.

The corpus was prepared by AILAB, a computer science lab of VNUHCM - University of Science, with Prof. Vu Hai Quan is the head of.

We publish this corpus in hope to attract more scientists to solve Vietnamese speech recognition problems.

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

A typical data point comprises the path to the audio file, called path and its transcription, called sentence. Some additional information about the speaker and the passage which contains the transcription is provided.

Data Fields

• speaker_id: An id for which speaker (voice) made the recording

• path: The path to the audio file

• audio: A dictionary containing the path to the downloaded audio file, the decoded audio array, and the sampling rate. Note that when accessing the audio column: dataset[0]["audio"] the audio file is automatically decoded and resampled to dataset.features["audio"].sampling_rate. Decoding and resampling of a large number of audio files might take a significant amount of time. Thus it is important to first query the sample index before the "audio" column, i.e. dataset[0]["audio"] should always be preferred over dataset["audio"][0].

• sentence: The sentence the user was prompted to speak

Data Splits

The speech material has been subdivided into portions for train and test.

Speech was recorded in a quiet environment with high quality microphone, speakers were asked to read one sentence at a time.
