### Dataset Summary
A weakly supervised dataset for spoken language processing in the Hebrew language. HEBDB offers roughly 2500 hours of natural and spontaneous speech recordings in the Hebrew language, consisting of a large variety of speakers and topics. We provide raw recordings together with a pre-processed, weakly supervised, and filtered version. The goal of HEBDB is to further enhance research and development of spoken language processing tools for the Hebrew language.
Data variants are: `pre`, `raw`. Note variants share the same columns to ease the usage of dataset subsets but `raw` only use the columns: `fname`, `audio` and `is_raw`.
#### How do I download this?
##### Using 🤗 Datasets
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
# pre only
hebdb_pre = load_dataset("SLPRL-HUJI/HebDB", "pre")
# raw only
hebdb_raw = load_dataset("SLPRL-HUJI/HebDB", "raw")
# One specific source(see code list below), both raw and pre
geekonomy = load_dataset("SLPRL-HUJI/HebDB", "GK")
# One specific source, both raw and pre
geekonomy_pre = load_dataset("SLPRL-HUJI/HebDB", "GK_pre")
```
To avoid downloading the entire dataset you can load it in streaming mode using `streaming=True`, for example:
```python
hebdb_pre = load_dataset("SLPRL-HUJI/HebDB", "pre", streaming=True)
```
You can also load and mix:
```python
from datasets import concatenate_datasets, load_dataset
geekonomy = load_dataset("SLPRL-HUJI/HebDB", "GK_pre")
osim_history = load_dataset("SLPRL-HUJI/HebDB", "OH_pre")
# Concatenate both datasets
concatenated = concatenate_datasets([geekonomy, osim_history])
```
### Sources
The 6 available sources are reported in the table below.
| code | name |
|:------|:--------------------------|
| GK | Geekonomy |
| OH | Osim History |
| DK | The Dor Kahn Experience |
| YO | Yo! The podcast |
| GQ | Good Question |

### Data Fields
The data have several fields:
- `fname`: file name
- `audio`:
- `array`: array of audio samples
- `sample_rate`: audio sampling rate
- `path`: path to the audio file saved location
- `is_raw`: Flag for raw/preprocessed
- `raw`:
- `fname`: origin raw file name
- `start_sec`: start time mark in seconds
- `end_sec`: end time mark in seconds
- `source`: Source name
- `n_samples`: Number of samples
- `text`: Transcription
- `normalized_text`: Normalized transcription (details in paper)
- `score`: Transcription quality score obtained by forced aligner (details in paper)
