Hi I calculated the segment durations in json files and it seems quite different from the published figure. So the published figure is not valid hour?
Here is the duration in hour calculated from the json files:
language train dev
Vietnamese 4576.189 9.722
French 6490.673 13.085
English 8247.417 14.737
Spanish 10419.67 14.269
Portuguese 2758.729 8.143
Arabic 683.575 4.22
Thai 3349.19 9.026
Russian 2590.04 8.488
Korean 9624.534 17.585
German 5541.162 12.011
Dutch 3595.561 8.891
Japanese 1661.463 8.225
Hindi 4019.625 8.752
Indonesian 1684.05 8.218
Italian 4096.837 8.763
Besides, I also noticed that for some videos (perhaps not all), there are only very few lines of transcriptions in the json files while the speech in the video is actually pretty long. For example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J0TYOu17uQ (JA_000000173 in Japanese/dev.json) has only about 50 seconds of segments transcribed in total while the video is actually 5 min long.
After the dataset was released, some videos were made private by their authors. To respect copyright, we have deleted those data.
