- Xinjian Li, David R. Mortensen, Florian Metze, A. Black. 2021. Multilingual Phonetic Dataset for Low Resource Speech Recognition. Abstract: Phone Recognition is one of the most important tasks in the field of multilingual speech recognition, especially for low-resource languages whose orthographies are not available. However, most speech recognition datasets so far only focus on high-resource languages, there are very few datasets available for low-resource languages, especially datasets with detailed phone annotation. In this work, we present a large multilingual phonetic dataset, which is preprocessed and aligned from the UCLA phonetic dataset. The dataset contains around 100 low-resource languages and 7000 utterances in total. This dataset would provide an ideal training/evaluation set for universal phone recognition.
