ASR Training Data for Speech Emotion Recognition
Transcribed speech corpora built to train and evaluate automatic speech recognition, with verbatim transcription, timestamps and per-token language tagging where code-mixing occurs. Applied to speech emotion recognition, the specification is driven by one thing: per-class f1.
- Service
- ASR datasets
- Use case
- Speech Emotion Recognition
- Primary metric
- Per-class F1
Required data profile
- Elicited and natural emotional speech
- Multi-rater emotion labels with adjudication
- Balanced across emotion classes
Technical specification
| Parameter | Standard |
|---|---|
| Audio | 16 kHz or 48 kHz PCM WAV |
| Transcription | Verbatim, including disfluencies, false starts and fillers |
| Timestamps | Utterance level by default; word level on request |
| Tagging | Noise, overlap, unintelligible, foreign-language and code-switch tags |
| Normalisation | Raw and normalised text columns delivered separately |
| Split | Train/dev/test splits with no speaker leakage across splits |
Process
- Style guide authored per language, covering numerals, loanwords, script and disfluency rules
- Transcriber calibration round with inter-annotator agreement measurement
- First-pass transcription
- Second-pass native review
- Automated consistency checks against the style guide
- Split generation with speaker-disjoint partitions
Metrics this feeds
- Per-class F1
- Inter-rater agreement on labels
- Escalation detection latency
Failure modes to design out
- Acted emotion only
- Single-rater labels on an inherently subjective task
Agreement is measured, not assumed. We report word-level agreement on a held-out sample so you can judge label quality before training on it.
Deliverables
- Audio plus aligned transcripts (JSON/TSV, or your schema)
- Style guide as delivered documentation
- Inter-annotator agreement report
- Speaker-disjoint train/dev/test splits
Frequently asked
Is asr datasets the right service for speech emotion recognition?
It covers elicited and natural emotional speech. Most speech emotion recognition programmes combine it with at least one other service; we will say so in the scope rather than selling one line item.
What languages are available?
All 14 languages in the network plus Indian English accent bands.
How is the evaluation set handled?
Collected first, from speakers disjoint from the training cohort, so improvement is measurable.
