Dataset Summary
This is the ParlamentParla speech corpus for Catalan prepared by Col·lectivaT. The audio segments were extracted from recordings the Catalan Parliament (Parlament de Catalunya) plenary sessions, which took place between 2007/07/11 - 2018/07/17. We aligned the transcriptions with the recordings and extracted the corpus. The content belongs to the Catalan Parliament and the data is released conforming their terms of use.
Preparation of this corpus was partly supported by the Department of Culture of the Catalan autonomous government, and the v2.0 was supported by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, within the framework of the project AINA of the Departament de Polítiques Digitals.
As of v2.0 the corpus is separated into 211 hours of clean and 400 hours of other quality segments. Furthermore, each speech segment is tagged with its speaker and each speaker with their gender. The statistics are detailed in the readme file.
Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
The dataset can be used for:
- Language Modeling.
- Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) transcribes utterances into words.
- Speaker Identification (SI) classifies each utterance for its speaker identity as a multi-class classification, where speakers are in the same predefined set for both training and testing.
Languages
The dataset is in Catalan (ca
).

Data Fields
path
(str): The path to the audio file.audio
(dict): A dictionary containing the path to the downloaded audio file, the decoded audio array, and the sampling rate. Note that when accessing the audio column:dataset[0]["audio"]
the audio file is automatically decoded and resampled todataset.features["audio"].sampling_rate
. Decoding and resampling of a large number of audio files might take a significant amount of time. Thus, it is important to first query the sample index before the"audio"
column, i.e.dataset[0]["audio"]
should always be preferred overdataset["audio"][0]
.speaker_id
(int): The speaker ID.sentence
(str): The sentence the user was prompted to speak.gender
(ClassLabel): The gender of the speaker (0: 'F', 1: 'M').duration
(float): Duration of the speech.
Data Splits
The dataset is split in: "train", "validation" and "test".
