| ### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards | |
| * Open Polish ASR challenge [PolEval](http://poleval.pl/) using BIGOS V2 and [PELCRA for BIGOS](https://huggingface.co/datasets/pelcra/pl-asr-pelcra-for-bigos) datasets | |
| * Evaluation of 3 commercial and 5 freely available on [BIGOS V1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/michaljunczyk/pl-asr-bigos) [(paper)](https://annals-csis.org/proceedings/2023/drp/1609.html). | |
| Continous benchmark and leaderboard of PL ASR systems using BIGOS corpora is planned for 2024.<br> | |

| ### Data Fields | |
| Available fields: | |
| * `audioname` - file identifier | |
| * `split` - test, validation or train split | |
| * `dataset` - source dataset identifier | |
| * `ref_orig` - original transcription of audio file | |

| * `audio_duration_seconds` - duration of recordings in seconds | |
| * `audiopath_bigos` - relative filepath to audio file extracted from tar.gz archive | |
| * `audiopath_local` - absolute filepath to audio file extracted with the build script | |
| * `speaker_gender` - gender (sex) of the speaker extracted from the source meta-data (N/A if not available) | |
| * `speaker_age` - age group of the speaker (in CommonVoice format) extracted from the source (N/A if not available) | |
| * `utt_length_words` - length of the utterance in words | |
| * `utt_length_chars` - length of the utterance in characters | |
| * `speech_rate_words` - ratio of words to recording duration. | |
| * `speech_rate_chars` - ratio of characters to recording duration. | |
| <br><br> | |
| ### Data Splits | |
| Train split contains recordings intendend for training. | |
| Validation split contains recordings for validation during training procedure. | |
| Test split contains recordings intended for evaluation only. | |
| References for test split are not available until the completion of 2024 PolEval challenge. | |

| ## Dataset Creation | |
| ### Curation Rationale | |
| [Polish ASR Speech Data Catalog](https://github.com/goodmike31/pl-asr-speech-data-survey) was used to identify suitable datasets which can be repurposed and included in the BIGOS corpora.<br> | |
| The following mandatory criteria were considered: | |
| * Dataset must be downloadable. | |
| * The license must allow for free, noncommercial use. | |
| * Transcriptions must be available and align with the recordings. | |
| * The sampling rate of audio recordings must be at least 8 kHz. | |
| * Audio encoding using a minimum of 16 bits per sample. | |
| Recordings which either lacked transcriptions or were too short to be useful for training or evaluation were removed during curation. | |
| ### Source Data | |
| 12 datasets that meet the criteria were chosen as sources for the BIGOS dataset. | |
| * The Common Voice dataset version 15 (mozilla-common_voice_15-23) | |
| * The Multilingual LibriSpeech (MLS) dataset (fair-mls-20) | |
| * The Clarin Studio Corpus (pjatk-clarin_studio-15) | |
| * The Clarin Mobile Corpus (pjatk-clarin_mobile-15) | |
| * The Jerzy Sas PWR datasets from Politechnika Wrocławska (pwr-viu-unk, pwr-shortwords-unk, pwr-maleset-unk). More info [here](https://www.ii.pwr.edu.pl/) | |
| * The Munich-AI Labs Speech corpus (mailabs-corpus-librivox-19) | |
| * The AZON Read and Spontaneous Speech Corpora (pwr-azon_spont-20, pwr-azon_read-20) More info [here](https://zasobynauki.pl/zasoby/korpus-nagran-probek-mowy-do-celow-budowy-modeli-akustycznych-dla-automatycznego-rozpoznawania-mowy) | |
| * The Google FLEURS dataset (google-fleurs-22) | |
| * The PolyAI minds14 dataset (polyai-minds14-21) | |

| #### Initial Data Collection and Normalization | |
| Source text and audio files were extracted and encoded in a unified format.<br> | |
| Dataset-specific transcription norms are preserved, including punctuation and casing. <br> | |
| In case of original dataset does not have test, dev, train splits provided, the splits were generated pseudorandomly during curation. <br> | |
| <br> | |
| #### Who are the source language producers? | |
| 1. Clarin corpora - Polish Japanese Academy of Technology | |
| 2. Common Voice - Mozilla foundation | |
| 3. Multlingual librispeech - Facebook AI research lab | |
| 4. Jerzy Sas and AZON datasets - Politechnika Wrocławska | |
| 5. Google - FLEURS | |
| 6. PolyAI London - Minds14 | |

| ### Annotations | |
| #### Annotation process | |
| Current release contains original transcriptions. | |
| Manual transcriptions of subsets and release of diagnostic dataset are planned for subsequent releases. | |
| #### Who are the annotators? | |
| Depends on the source dataset. | |
| ### Personal and Sensitive Information | |
| This corpus does not contain PII or Sensitive Information. | |
| All IDs pf speakers are anonymized. | |
| ## Considerations for Using the Data | |
| ### Social Impact of Dataset | |
| To be updated. | |
| ### Discussion of Biases | |
| To be updated. | |
| ### Other Known Limitations | |
| The dataset in the initial release contains only a subset of recordings from original datasets. | |
