摘要:

低资源语言的自动语音识别(ASR)改善了语言少数群体获得人工智能(AI)提供的技术优势的机会。在本文中,我们通过创建一个新的粤语数据集来解决香港粤语数据稀缺的问题。我们的数据集,多域粤语语料库(MDCC),包括73.6小时的干净的阅读语音配对的成绩单,从香港粤语有声读物收集。它包括哲学、政治、教育、文化、生活方式和家庭领域,涵盖广泛的主题。我们还回顾了所有现有的粤语数据集,并根据其语音类型,数据源,总大小和可用性对其进行分析。我们进一步使用Fairseq S2 T Transformer(一种最先进的ASR模型)在现有最大的数据集Common Voice zh-HK和我们提出的MDCC上进行实验,结果表明了我们数据集的有效性。此外,我们通过在MDCC和Common Voice zh-HK上应用多数据集学习,创建了一个强大而强大的粤语ASR模型。

英文摘要:

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) on low resource languages improves the access of linguistic minorities to technological advantages provided by artificial intelligence (AI). In this paper, we address the problem of data scarcity for the Hong Kong Cantonese language by creating a new Cantonese dataset. Our dataset, Multi-Domain Cantonese Corpus (MDCC), consists of 73.6 hours of clean read speech paired with transcripts, collected from Cantonese audiobooks from Hong Kong. It comprises philosophy, politics, education, culture, lifestyle and family domains, covering a wide range of topics. We also review all existing Cantonese datasets and analyze them according to their speech type, data source, total size and availability. We further conduct experiments with Fairseq S2T Transformer, a state-of-the-art ASR model, on the biggest existing dataset, Common Voice zh-HK, and our proposed MDCC, and the results show the effectiveness of our dataset. In addition, we create a powerful and robust Cantonese ASR model by applying multi-dataset learning on MDCC and Common Voice zh-HK.
