== Content: == |
|
|
* wavs: segmented audio (except part4, unsegmented, and part5 partially |
|
|
segmented) |
|
|
* text: prompts corresponding to audio |
|
|
* lists: recommended training / development / test sets |
|
|
* labs: aligned HTS labels |
|
|
* emph_labs: aligned HTS labels with emphasis mark on emphasised word |
|
|
(P:0 for neutral words, P:1 for emphasised words) |
|
|
* other: |
|
|
- prompts gathered in big files |
|
|
- question file to use in HTS training when using provided labels |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Syntax of file names: == |
|
|
* For part 1,2,3 and 5: |
|
|
[style]_[type]_[session]_[id].[ext] where: |
|
|
- style = neutral (neut) / emphasised (emph) / expressive (expr) |
|
|
- type = parliament (parl) / book (book) / siwis (siwis) / sus (sus) / |
|
|
chapter (chap) |
|
|
- session = 2 digits |
|
|
- id = 4 digits |
|
|
- ext = wav / txt / lab |
|
|
* part4: |
|
|
chap_full.[ext] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Notes: == |
|
|
* Part 1 to 4 are from the same (main) speaker. |
|
|
* Part 5 is uttered by a different speaker. |
|
|
* Part 1 to 3 have labels. |
|
|
* Part 4 and 5 do not have labels because they are not segmented. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Known problems: == |
|
|
* The [s] sounds in "c'est" are often (if not always) replaced by |
|
|
[k]. This is a problem in the generation of labels. |
|
|
* It may happen that some emphasised words are not labelled as |
|
|
emphasised in the case of multiple emphasised words in the sentence. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== TODO: == |
|
|
* Instead of just labels on known emphasised words, also add |
|
|
information about position of emphasised word relatively to the |
|
|
current word, for instance. |
