### Dataset Summary

This is the version of the Bokmål segments of module 1 and 2 of NB Tale used for testing the models 
 in the paper *Improving Generalization of Norwegian ASR with Limited Linguistic Resources* presented at NoDaLiDa 2023.
It only contains segments of a length < 15 sec. This dataset contains both native and non-native speakers. 
Speakers with `region` set to `foreign` were filtered out [when analyzing the data in the paper](https://github.com/scribe-project/nodalida_2023_combined_training/blob/main/analysis/analysis.ipynb).

### Languages

Norwegian Bokmål


## Dataset Creation

### Source Data
The full version of this dataset is found in [the repository of the Norwegian Language Bank](https://www.nb.no/sprakbanken/en/resource-catalogue/oai-nb-no-sbr-31/)

#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization

The data was retrieved using the [Spraakbanken downloader](https://pypi.org/project/spraakbanken-downloader/) and standardized
 using the [combined dataset standardization scripts](https://github.com/scribe-project/asr-standardized-combined). Bokmål segments with a duration < 15 seconds were
 extracted using [this code](https://github.com/scribe-project/nodalida_2023_combined_training/blob/main/make_datasets/make_nbtale_csvs.ipynb).
