We present a test corpus of audio recordings and transcriptions of presentations of students' enterprises together with their slides and web-pages. The corpus is intended for evaluation of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, especially in conditions where the prior availability of in-domain vocabulary and named entities is benefitable.
The corpus consists of 39 presentations in English, each up to 90 seconds long, and slides and web-pages in Czech, Slovak, English, German, Romanian, Italian or Spanish.
The speakers are high school students from European countries with English as their second language.
We benchmark three baseline ASR systems on the corpus and show their imperfection.
COSTRA 1.0 is a dataset of Czech complex sentence transformations. The dataset is intended for the study of sentence-level embeddings beyond simple word alternations or standard paraphrasing.
The dataset consist of 4,262 unique sentences with average length of 10 words, illustrating 15 types of modifications such as simplification, generalization, or formal and informal language variation.
The hope is that with this dataset, we should be able to test semantic properties of sentence embeddings and perhaps even to find some topologically interesting “skeleton” in the sentence embedding space.
Costra 1.1 is a new dataset for testing geometric properties of sentence embeddings spaces. In particular, it concentrates on examining how well sentence embeddings capture complex phenomena such paraphrases, tense or generalization. The dataset is a direct expansion of Costra 1.0, which was extended with more sentences and sentence comparisons.
Eyetracked Multi-Modal Translation (EMMT) is a simultaneous eye-tracking, 4-electrode EEG and audio corpus for multi-modal reading and translation scenarios. It contains monocular eye movement recordings, audio data and 4-electrode wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) data of 43 participants while engaged in sight translation supported by an image.
The details about the experiment and the dataset can be found in the README file.
