# SpokenSwag
We present here SpokenSwag as described in the paper ["_Slamming_: Training a Speech Language Model on One GPU in a Day"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.15814).
This dataset is based on [allenai/swag](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/swag) and synthetised with 4 speakers from [hexgrad/Kokoro-82M](https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M).
We show that perfoming DPO over the dataset can really improve performance of Speech Language Models.
We encourage you to also see the following resources, for further information:

## Dataset Summary

A dataset used for post-training spoken language models with DPO, which was showed to notably improve semantic abilities. 
Specifically, the dataset is based on text only dataset [allenai/swag](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/swag), and taking the correct 
answer as the chosen contiuation and a random wrong answer as negative one. These were then synthesised using TTS by 
[hexgrad/Kokoro-82M](https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M). We use 4 speakers - 2 male and 2 female. We generate both train and 
validation splits from the original dataset.

## Download

#### Using 🤗 Datasets

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
# entire dataset
spoken_swag = load_dataset('slprl/SpokenSwag')
```

We refer you to the _SlamKit_ [codebase](https://github.com/slp-rl/slamkit) to see how you can train a SpeechLM with DPO over the dataset.

## Data Fields

The data has several fields:
- `speaker`: One of the Kokoro voices - https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M/blob/main/VOICES.md
- `prompt_text`: The text of the prompt recording.
- `chosen_text`: The text of the chosen recording.
- `rejected_text`: The text of the rejected recording.
- `prompt`:   The prompt audio sample
	- `array`:  array of audio samples
	- `sample_rate`:  audio sampling rate
	- `path`: path to the audio file saved location
- `chosen`:   The chosen audio sample
	- `array`:  array of audio samples
	- `sample_rate`:  audio sampling rate
	- `path`: path to the audio file saved location
- `rejected`:   The rejected audio sample
	- `array`:  array of audio samples
	- `sample_rate`:  audio sampling rate
	- `path`: path to the audio file saved location
- `auto_bleu2`: The Auto-Bleu score with bi-grams, used to detect and filter repetetive samples
