Dataset Structure
Data Instances
A typical data point comprises the path to the audio file and its sentence.
{

'sentence': 'މިއަދު އަންނަމުންދާ ތަރައްޤީއަކީ، އަޅުގަނޑުމެންގެ ރައްޔިތުން އެތައް ދުވަހެއް ވަންދެން ކުރަމުންދިޔަ އުންމީދުތައް',

Data Fields
path (string): The path to the audio file.
sentence (string): The transcription for the audio file.
audio (dict): A dictionary containing the path to the downloaded audio file, the decoded audio array, and the sampling rate. Note that when accessing the audio column: dataset[0]["audio"] the audio file is automatically decoded and resampled to dataset.features["audio"].sampling_rate. Decoding and resampling of a large number of audio files might take a significant amount of time. Thus it is important to first query the sample index before the "audio" column, i.e. dataset[0]["audio"] should always be preferred over dataset["audio"][0].
Data Splits
The speech material has been subdivided into portions for train, test and validation.
| Train | Validation | Test | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Utterances | 4647 | 580 | 580 | 5807 |
| Duration | 08:23:06 | 01:20:28 | 01:03:55 | 10:47:28 |
