### Dataset Summary

VoxDIY RusNews is the first publicly available large-scale dataset of crowdsourced audio transcriptions in Russian language.
The dataset was constructed by annotating audio recordings of Russian sentences from news domain on [Toloka crowdsourcing platform](https://toloka.ai).
VoxDIY RusNews consists of 3091 instances having around 21K annotations obtained from crowd workers.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
Aggregation of crowd transcriptions.

### Languages
Russian

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

A data instance contains a url to the audio recording, a list of transcriptions along with the corresponding performers identifiers and 
ground truth. For each data instance, seven crowdsourced transcriptions are provided.

```

### Data Fields

* task: a string containing a url of the audio recording
* transcriptions: a list of the crowdsourced transcriptions separated by '|'
* performers: the corresponding performers' identifiers.
* gt: ground truth transcription

## Dataset Creation

### Source Data

The audio recordings were obtained using a [speech synthesis tool](https://cloud.yandex.com/en-ru/services/speechkit).
The source sentences come from the Russian test set of the machine translation shared task executed as a part of the 
Eights and Ninth Workshops on Statistical Machine Translation ([WMT 2013](https://www.statmt.org/wmt13/) and [WMT 2014](https://www.statmt.org/wmt14/)).

### Annotations

Annotation was done on [Toloka crowdsourcing platform](https://toloka.ai) with overlap of 7 (that is, each task was performed by 7 annotators).

Only annotators who self-reported the knowledge of Russian had access to the annotation task.
Additionally, annotators had to pass *Entrance Exam*. For this, we ask all incoming eligible workers to annotate ten audio
recordings. We then compute our target metric — Word Error Rate (WER) — on these recordings and accept to the main task all workers 
who achieve WER of 40% or less (the smaller the value of the metric, the higher the quality of annotation).

The Toloka crowdsourcing platform associates workers with unique identifiers and returns these identifiers to the requester. 
To further protect the data, we additionally encode each identifier with an integer that is eventually reported in our released datasets.
