Dataset Card for ATCOSIM corpus

Dataset Summary

The ATCOSIM Air Traffic Control Simulation Speech corpus is a speech database of air traffic control (ATC) operator speech, provided by Graz University of Technology (TUG) and Eurocontrol Experimental Centre (EEC). It consists of ten hours of speech data, which were recorded during ATC real-time simulations using a close-talk headset microphone. The utterances are in English language and pronounced by ten non-native speakers. The database includes orthographic transcriptions and additional information on speakers and recording sessions. It was recorded and annotated by Konrad Hofbauer ( description here ).

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

• automatic-speech-recognition . Already adapted/fine-tuned models are available here --> XLS-R-300m .

Languages and other details

The text and the recordings are in English. The participating controllers were all actively employed air traffic controllers and possessed professional experience in the simulated sectors. The six male and four female controllers were of either German or Swiss nationality and had German, Swiss German or Swiss French native tongue. The controllers had agreed to the recording of their voice for the purpose of language analysis as well as for research and development in speech technologies, and were asked to show their normal working behaviour.

Dataset Structure

Data Fields

• id (string) : a string of recording identifier for each example, corresponding to its.
• audio (audio) : audio data for the given ID
• text (string) : transcript of the file already normalized. Follow these repositories for more details w2v2-air-traffic and bert-text-diarization-atc
• segment_start_time (float32) : segment start time (normally 0)
• `segment_end_time (float32): segment end time
• duration (float32) : duration of the recording, compute as segment_end_time - segment_start_time
