ABX-accent

The ABX-accent project is based on the preparation and evaluation of the Accented English Speech Recognition Challenge (AESRC) dataset [1], using fastABX [2] for evaluation. This repository provides all the items files you can use for evaluation.

What is ABX Evaluation?

The ABX metric evaluates whether a representation X of a speech unit (e.g., the triphone “bap”) is closer to a same-category example A (also “bap”) than to a different-category example B (e.g., “bop”). The ABX error rate is calculated by averaging the discrimination errors over all minimal triphone pairs (ie., differing only by the central phoneme) in the corpus. This benchmark focuses on the more challenging ABX across(and within) speaker task, where the X example is spoken by a different speaker than the ones in pair (A, B), testing speaker-invariant phonetic discrimination.

About the Dataset

The Accented English Speech Recognition Challenge dataset includes recordings from ten different regional accents: American, British, Canadian, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian.

Getting Started

To begin working with the AESRC development data and run evaluations, you will find the following resources in the repository:

Setup instructions are provided for Linux systems, and the process has been successfully tested on various distributions, including Ubuntu 16.04, Debian Jessie, and CentOS 6. It should also work on macOS with minimal modifications.
