论文摘要
孟加拉语是世界上说话最多的语言之一，全球有超过3亿的演讲者。尽管它很受欢迎，但由于缺乏多样化的开源数据集，对孟加拉语音识别系统的发展的研究受到了阻碍。作为前进的道路，我们已经众包孟加拉语音语音数据集，这是句子级自动语音识别语料库。该数据集在Mozilla Common语音平台上收集，是正在进行的广告系列的一部分，该活动导致2个月内收集了超过400个小时的数据，并且正在迅速增长。我们的分析表明，与OpenSLR孟加拉ASR数据集相比，该数据集具有更多的发言人，音素和环境多样性，这是最大的现有开源孟加拉语语音数据集。我们提供了从数据集获得的见解，并讨论了未来版本中需要解决的关键语言挑战。此外，我们报告了一些自动语音识别（ASR）算法的当前性能，并为将来的研究设定了基准。
Bengali is one of the most spoken languages in the world with over 300 million speakers globally. Despite its popularity, research into the development of Bengali speech recognition systems is hindered due to the lack of diverse open-source datasets. As a way forward, we have crowdsourced the Bengali Common Voice Speech Dataset, which is a sentence-level automatic speech recognition corpus. Collected on the Mozilla Common Voice platform, the dataset is part of an ongoing campaign that has led to the collection of over 400 hours of data in 2 months and is growing rapidly. Our analysis shows that this dataset has more speaker, phoneme, and environmental diversity compared to the OpenSLR Bengali ASR dataset, the largest existing open-source Bengali speech dataset. We present insights obtained from the dataset and discuss key linguistic challenges that need to be addressed in future versions. Additionally, we report the current performance of a few Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) algorithms and set a benchmark for future research.
