# The Croatian Parliamentary Spoken Dataset ParlaSpeech-HR 2.0

The master dataset can be found at http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1914.

The ParlaSpeech-HR dataset is built from the transcripts of parliamentary proceedings available in the Croatian part of the ParlaMint corpus (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1859), and the parliamentary recordings available from the Croatian Parliament's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/InternetTVHrvatskogasabora).

The dataset consists of audio segments that correspond to specific sentences in the transcripts. The transcript contains word-level alignments to the recordings, each instance consisting of character and millisecond start and end offsets, allowing for simple further segmentation of long sentences into shorter segments for ASR and other memory-sensitive applications. Sequences longer than 30 seconds have already been removed from this dataset, which should allow for a simple usage on most modern GPUs.

Each segment has an identifier reference to the ParlaMint 4.0 corpus (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1859) via the utterance ID and character offsets.

While in the original dataset all the speaker information from the ParlaMint corpus is available via the `speaker_info` attribute, in the HuggingFace version only a subset of metadata is available, namely: the date, the name of the speaker, their gender, year of birth, party affiliation at that point in time, status of the party at that point in time (coalition or opposition), and party orientation (left, right, centre etc.).

Different to the original dataset, this version has also a `text_normalised` attribute, which contains the text with parliamentary comments (`[[Applause]]` and similar) removed.
