Multi-Dialect Vietnamese: Task, Dataset, Baseline Models and Challenges

## Dataset Overview 

Overall, our dataset offers a comprehensive representation of Vietnamese dialects, including 63 provincial dialects. It consists of 102.56 hours of audio recordings, with nearly 19,000 records ob-
tained from 12,955 speakers. The accompanying transcripts consist of over 1.2 million words, with a distinct vocabulary of 5,155 unique words. The train, validation, and test sets were split in an 8:1:1 ratio based on duration, resulting in 81.43 hours,
10.26 hours, and 10.87 hours, respectively. This ratio extended to the number of records, speakers, and words as well. Notwithstanding such a ratio, the unique word counts in the validation set
(2,660 unique words) and test set (2,723 unique words) does not differ significantly from from the training set (4,813 unique words), thus preserving the vocabulary diversity. Across the 63 provincial
dialects, with the exception of the number of speakers exhibiting imbalance, the remaining attributes duration, number of records, words, and unique words – are well-balanced
