摘要翻译:
本文介绍了在Creative Commons 4.0下的一个免费数据集--复杂环境中隐藏的声音语料库(Voices)。该数据集将促进噪声环境下远场话筒语音和信号处理的研究。公开的语音语料库大多由近距离微音的孤立语音组成。为了更好地描述真实场景,一种典型的方法是将干净的语音与噪声和模拟的房间响应进行卷积,以进行模型训练。尽管做出了这些努力,在自然条件下与未经处理的语音进行测试时,模型的性能会下降。对于这个语料库,音频是在有家具的房间里录制的,背景噪音与从LibriSpeech语料库中选择的前景语音一起播放。在每个房间记录多个会话,以适应所有前景语音-背景噪声组合。录音使用12个麦克风放置在整个房间,导致120小时的音频每个麦克风。这项工作是由SRI International和Lab41领导的多组织努力,旨在推进信号处理和语音识别中最先进的远程麦克风方法。

英文摘要:
This paper introduces the Voices Obscured In Complex Environmental Settings (VOICES) corpus, a freely available dataset under Creative Commons BY 4.0. This dataset will promote speech and signal processing research of speech recorded by far-field microphones in noisy room conditions. Publicly available speech corpora are mostly composed of isolated speech at close-range microphony. A typical approach to better represent realistic scenarios, is to convolve clean speech with noise and simulated room response for model training. Despite these efforts, model performance degrades when tested against uncurated speech in natural conditions. For this corpus, audio was recorded in furnished rooms with background noise played in conjunction with foreground speech selected from the LibriSpeech corpus. Multiple sessions were recorded in each room to accommodate for all foreground speech-background noise combinations. Audio was recorded using twelve microphones placed throughout the room, resulting in 120 hours of audio per microphone. This work is a multi-organizational effort led by SRI International and Lab41 with the intent to push forward state-of-the-art distant microphone approaches in signal processing and speech recognition.
