# indspeech_newstra_ethnicsr

INDspeech_NEWSTRA_EthnicSR is a collection of graphemically balanced and parallel speech corpora of four major Indonesian ethnic languages: Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese, and Bataks. It was developed in 2013 by the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST, Japan) [Sakti et al., 2013]. The data has been used to develop Indonesian ethnic speech recognition in supervised learning [Sakti et al., 2014] and semi-supervised learning [Novitasari et al., 2020] based on Machine Speech Chain framework [Tjandra et al., 2020].

## Dataset Usage

Run `pip install nusacrowd` before loading the dataset through HuggingFace's `load_dataset`.
