Corpus contains recordings of communication between air traffic controllers and pilots. The speech is manually transcribed and labeled with the information about the speaker (pilot/controller, not the full identity of the person). The corpus is currently small (20 hours) but we plan to search for additional data next year. The audio data format is: 8kHz, 16bit PCM, mono. and Technology Agency of the Czech Republic, project No. TA01030476.
The corpus contains pronunciation lexicon and n-gram counts (unigrams, bigrams and trigrams) that can be used for constructing the language model for air traffic control communication domain. It could be used together with the Air Traffic Control Communication corpus (http://hdl.handle.net/11858/00-097C-0000-0001-CCA1-0). and Technology Agency of the Czech Republic, project No. TA01030476
The EBUContentGenre is a thesaurus containing the hierarchical description of various genres utilized in the TV broadcasting industry. This thesaurus is a part of a complex metadata specification called EBUCore intended for multifaceted description of audiovisual content. EBUCore (http://tech.ebu.ch/docs/tech/tech3293v1_3.pdf) is a set of descriptive and technical metadata based on the Dublin Core and adapted to media. EBUCore is the flagship metadata specification of European Broadcasting Union, the largest professional association of broadcasters around the world. It is developed and maintained by EBU's Technical Department (http://tech.ebu.ch). The translated thesaurus can be used for effective cataloguing of (mostly TV) audiovisual content and consequent development of systems for automatic cataloguing (topic/genre detection). and Technology Agency of the Czech Republic, project No. TA01011264
The corpus contains recordings of male speaker, native in Czech, talking in English. The sentences that were read by the speaker originate in the domain of air traffic control (ATC), specifically the messages used by plane pilots during routine flight. The text in the corpus originates from the transcripts of the real recordings, part of which has been released in LINDAT/CLARIN (http://hdl.handle.net/11858/00-097C-0000-0001-CCA1-0), and individual phrases were selected by special algorithm described in Jůzová, M. and Tihelka, D.: Minimum Text Corpus Selection for Limited Domain Speech Synthesis (DOI 10.1007/978-3-319-10816-2_48). The corpus was used to create a limited domain speech synthesis system capable of simulating a pilot communication with an ATC officer.

This dataset can serve as a training and evaluation corpus for the task of training keyword detection with speaker direction estimation (keyword direction of arrival - KWDOA).
It was created by processing the existing Speech Commands dataset [1] with the PyroomAcoustics library so that the resulting speech recordings simulate the usage of a circular microphone array with 4 microphones having a distance of 57 mm between adjacent microphones. Such design of a simulated microphone array was chosen in order to match the existing physical microphone array from the Seeeduino series.
