Corpus description

Nos_ParlaSpeech-GL is an ASR corpus of more than 1,600 hours of automatically aligned speech and text, created from audio and official transcripts of Galician parliamentary sessions celebrated between 2015 and 2022. The content belongs to the Galician Parliament and the data is released according to their terms of use.

The corpus is split into two subcorpora, “clean” and “other”. The segments included in the “clean” subcorpus were filtered according to several alignment quality criteria, whereas the “other” subcorpus comprises the segments that were discarded in the filtering process. The details of both subcorpora can be found in the table below:

Subcorpus	No. of hours	No. of segments
clean	1196.92	667,308
other	477.71	130,332
Total	1674.63	797,64

For each subcorpora, we provide three splits: train, dev and test. Test and dev splits contain between 10 and 15 hours of audio, balanced by gender; whereas the train partition contains the rest of the audio segments. It must be noted that all the partitions have unique speakers, i.e., speakers from a partition do not appear in other partitions. The repository structure is as follows: the /data folder contains all the audio files, divided into clean and other, and also split into train, dev and test for each subcorpora. The /transcript folder follows the same structure, but it contains the metadata files. Each metadata file has the following fields:

"path": the name of the audio file.
"sentence": the transcript of the audio file.
"speaker_id": the ID of the speaker.
"gender": the gender of the speaker (M/F).
"birth_year": the birth year of the speaker.
"birth_place": the birth place of the speaker.

Disclaimer

We are not responsible for any inconsistencies in speaker identification that stem from misidentification in the original transcripts.
