### Dataset Summary

SUBAK.KO, a publicly available annotated Bangladeshi standard Bangla speech corpus is compiled for automatic speech recognition research. 
This corpus contains 241 hours of high-quality speech data, including 229 hours of read speech data and 12 hours of broadcast speech data. 
The read speech segment is recorded in a noise-proof studio environment from 33 male and 28 female native Bangladeshi Bangla speakers 
representing 8 divisions/34 districts of Bangladesh. Furthermore, the read speech segment comprises a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes 
of recorded speech provided by two second language (L2) speakers. The broadcast speech segment is collected from YouTube. SUBAK.KO has 
been manually annotated under human supervision. The [associated paper](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0167639321001370) reports detailed information about 
the development and baseline performance of SUBAK.KO. 

SUBAK.KO is developed by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), 
Bangladesh with financial support from the Higher Education Quality Enhancement Project (AIF Window 4, CP 3888) for “The Development of 
Multi-Platform Speech and Language Processing Software for Bangla” of the University Grants Commission (UGC), Bangladesh.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

This dataset is designed for the automatic speech recognition task. The associated paper provides the baseline results on SUBAK.KO corpus. 

### Languages

Bangladeshi standard Bangla

## 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.

```
{'speaker_id': 'VIVOSSPK01',
 'path': '/home/admin/.cache/huggingface/datasets/downloads/extracted/b7ded9969e09942ab65313e691e6fc2e12066192ee8527e21d634aca128afbe2/vivos/train/waves/VIVOSSPK01/VIVOSSPK01_R001.wav',
 'audio': {'path': '/home/admin/.cache/huggingface/datasets/downloads/extracted/b7ded9969e09942ab65313e691e6fc2e12066192ee8527e21d634aca128afbe2/vivos/train/waves/VIVOSSPK01/VIVOSSPK01_R001.wav',
		   'array': array([-0.00048828, -0.00018311, -0.00137329, ...,  0.00079346, 0.00091553,  0.00085449], dtype=float32),
		   'sampling_rate': 16000},
 'sentence': 'KHÁCH SẠN'}
```

### 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.

|                  | Train | Test  |
| ---------------- | ----- | ----- |
| Speakers         | 46    | 19    | 
| Utterances       | 11660 | 760   |
| Duration         | 14:55 | 00:45 |
| Unique Syllables | 4617  | 1692  |
