Ga Multispeaker Audio Transcribed Dataset
Overview
The Ga Multispeaker Audio Transcribed dataset is a collection of speech recordings and their transcriptions in Ga, a widely spoken dialect of the Akan language in Ghana. The dataset is designed for training and evaluating automatic speech recognition (ASR) models and other natural language processing (NLP) applications.
Dataset Details
- Source: The dataset is derived from the Financial Inclusion Speech Dataset, which focuses on financial conversations in Ga.
- Format: The dataset consists of audio recordings (.wav) and corresponding transcriptions (.txt or .csv).
- Speakers: Multiple speakers contribute to the dataset, making it useful for speaker-independent ASR models.
- Domain: Primarily focused on financial and general conversations.
Splits
The dataset is divided as follows:
- Train Set: 90% of the data
- Test Set: 10% of the data
Use Cases
This dataset is useful for:
- Training and evaluating ASR models for Ga.
- Developing Ga language models and NLP applications.
- Linguistic analysis of Ga speech.
Usage
To use this dataset in your Hugging Face project, you can load it as follows:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("michsethowusu/ga_multispeaker_audio_transcribed")
