Dataset Card
Dataset Description
This dataset is a benchmark based on the TalkBank[1] corpus—a large multilingual repository of conversational speech that captures real-world, unstructured interactions. We use CA-Bank [2], which focuses on phone conversations between adults, which include natural speech phenomena such as laughter, pauses, and interjections. To ensure the dataset is highly accurate and suitable for benchmarking conversational ASR systems, we employ extensive set of pre-processing.
Preprocessing Steps
We apply the following preprocessing steps to ensure the dataset’s quality:
- Manual filtering of conversations
- Speaker-channel alignment
- Timestamp alignment using voice activity detection (VAD)
- Discarding segments based on Word Error Rate (WER) thresholds
Paper and Code Repository
For a comprehensive explanation of the preprocessing pipeline and dataset details, refer to our paper ASR Benchmarking: The Need for a More Representative Conversational Dataset and explore our GitHub repository for code and additional resources.
Segmentation Types: Speaker Switch vs Annotation
We offer two types of segmentation for this dataset:
- Annotation-based Segmentation: Segments are derived directly from the annotations provided in the original TalkBank corpus.
- Speaker Switch Segmentation: We consolidate consecutive segments from the same speaker into a single, larger audio segment, providing an alternative structure for analysis.
