Speech datasets

The table below aims to provide a list of speech datasets with detailed attributes and links to software baselines and evaluation results. Each dataset may be used for one or more applications: automatic speech recognition, speaker identification and verification, source localization, speech enhancement and separation... The meaning of each attribute is detailed below.

Disclaimer: Only datasets that are publicly available, (at least partially) annotated, suitable for research on robustness, and longer than 5 min are listed. Other relevant datasets are listed below.

If you would like to refer to this table, please cite J. Le Roux and E. Vincent, "A categorization of robust speech processing datasets", Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories Technical Report, TR2014-116, Aug. 2014.

Speech attributes:

  • duration of speech (h) (overlapping speech counted only once)
  • number of unique speakers
  • language
  • number of unique words (differs from assumed vocabulary size, which is somewhat arbitrary)
  • speaking style: digits, command, read, spontaneous...
  • number of speakers present in the room
  • type of speaker overlap: no overlap, simulated overlap, dialogue, meeting, full overlap...

Channel attributes:

  • channel type: none, simulated room impulse response, convolution by a recorded room impulse response, reverberant recording...
  • speaker radiation: loudspeaker, dummy head with mouth simulator, human...
  • speaker location: at a fixed position in the room, at a quasi-fixed position (e.g., seated), at different positions...
  • speaker movements: no movement, head movements, walking...

Noise attributes:

  • noise type: stationary background noise (e.g., air-conditioning), car noise, meeting noises, domestic noises, outdoor noises...

Available ground truth:

  • reference speech signal: original (at the mouth), headset or lapel (slightly differs from the signal at the mouth), spatial image (at the microphones)...
  • speaker location and orientation
  • words uttered
  • paralinguistic attributes: nodding, gaze, communication intent, emotion... (excluding speaker attributes such as age, gender, or native language)
  • noise events: type and time of individual noise events

Impulse response datasets

The table below provides a list of impulse response (IR) datasets with detailed attributes. The meaning of each attribute is detailed below.

Disclaimer: Only datasets that are publicly available and include some reverberation (not only HRTFs) are listed.
