Dataset Card for SpeechCommands

Dataset Summary

This is a set of one-second .wav audio files, each containing a single spoken English word or background noise. These words are from a small set of commands, and are spoken by a variety of different speakers. This data set is designed to help train simple machine learning models. It is covered in more detail at https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.03209 .

Version 0.01 of the data set (configuration "v0.01" ) was released on August 3rd 2017 and contains 64,727 audio files.

Version 0.02 of the data set (configuration "v0.02" ) was released on April 11th 2018 and contains 105,829 audio files.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

  • keyword-spotting : the dataset can be used to train and evaluate keyword spotting systems. The task is to detect preregistered keywords by classifying utterances into a predefined set of words. The task is usually performed on-device for the fast response time. Thus, accuracy, model size, and inference time are all crucial.

Languages

The language data in SpeechCommands is in English (BCP-47 en ).

Data Instances

Example of a core word ( "label" is a word, "is_unknown" is False ):

{
  "file": "no/7846fd85_nohash_0.wav", 
  "audio": {
    "path": "no/7846fd85_nohash_0.wav", 
    "array": array([ -0.00021362, -0.00027466, -0.00036621, ...,  0.00079346,
          0.00091553,  0.00079346]), 
    "sampling_rate": 16000
    },
  "label": 1,  # "no"
  "is_unknown": False,
  "speaker_id": "7846fd85",
  "utterance_id": 0
}

Example of an auxiliary word ( "label" is a word, "is_unknown" is True )

{
  "file": "tree/8b775397_nohash_0.wav", 
  "audio": {
    "path": "tree/8b775397_nohash_0.wav", 
    "array": array([ -0.00854492, -0.01339722, -0.02026367, ...,  0.00274658,
          0.00335693,  0.0005188]), 
    "sampling_rate": 16000
    },
  "label": 28,  # "tree"
  "is_unknown": True,
  "speaker_id": "1b88bf70",
  "utterance_id": 0
}

Example of background noise ( _silence_ ) class:

{
  "file": "_silence_/doing_the_dishes.wav", 
  "audio": {
    "path": "_silence_/doing_the_dishes.wav", 
    "array": array([ 0.        ,  0.        ,  0.        , ..., -0.00592041,
         -0.00405884, -0.00253296]), 
    "sampling_rate": 16000
    }, 
  "label": 30,  # "_silence_"
  "is_unknown": False,
  "speaker_id": "None",
  "utterance_id": 0  # doesn't make sense here
}

Data Fields

  • file : relative audio filename inside the original archive.
  • audio : dictionary containing a relative audio filename, a decoded audio array, and the sampling rate. Note that when accessing the audio column: dataset[0]["audio"] the audio is automatically decoded and resampled to dataset.features["audio"].sampling_rate . Decoding and resampling of a large number of audios might take a significant amount of time. Thus, it is important to first query the sample index before the "audio" column, i.e. dataset[0]["audio"] should always be preferred over dataset["audio"][0] .
  • label : either word pronounced in an audio sample or background noise ( _silence_ ) class. Note that it's an integer value corresponding to the class name.
  • is_unknown : if a word is auxiliary. Equals to False if a word is a core word or _silence_ , True if a word is an auxiliary word.
  • speaker_id : unique id of a speaker. Equals to None if label is _silence_ .
  • utterance_id : incremental id of a word utterance within the same speaker.

Data Splits

The dataset has two versions (= configurations): "v0.01" and "v0.02" . "v0.02" contains more words (see section Source Data for more details).

train validation test
v0.01 51093 6799 3081
v0.02 84848 9982 4890

Note that in train and validation sets examples of _silence_ class are longer than 1 second. You can use the following code to sample 1-second examples from the longer ones:

def sample_noise(example):
    # Use this function to extract random 1 sec slices of each _silence_ utterance,
    # e.g. inside `torch.utils.data.Dataset.__getitem__()`
    from random import randint

    if example["label"] == "_silence_":
        random_offset = randint(0, len(example["speech"]) - example["sample_rate"] - 1)
        example["speech"] = example["speech"][random_offset : random_offset + example["sample_rate"]]

    return example

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

The primary goal of the dataset is to provide a way to build and test small models that can detect a single word from a set of target words and differentiate it from background noise or unrelated speech with as few false positives as possible.

Source Data

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

The audio files were collected using crowdsourcing, see aiyprojects.withgoogle.com/open_speech_recording for some of the open source audio collection code that was used. The goal was to gather examples of people speaking single-word commands, rather than conversational sentences, so they were prompted for individual words over the course of a five minute session.

In version 0.01 thirty different words were recoded: "Yes", "No", "Up", "Down", "Left", "Right", "On", "Off", "Stop", "Go", "Zero", "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Bed", "Bird", "Cat", "Dog", "Happy", "House", "Marvin", "Sheila", "Tree", "Wow".

In version 0.02 more words were added: "Backward", "Forward", "Follow", "Learn", "Visual".

In both versions, ten of them are used as commands by convention: "Yes", "No", "Up", "Down", "Left", "Right", "On", "Off", "Stop", "Go". Other words are considered to be auxiliary (in current implementation it is marked by True value of "is_unknown" feature). Their function is to teach a model to distinguish core words from unrecognized ones.

The _silence_ label contains a set of longer audio clips that are either recordings or a mathematical simulation of noise.
