Final utterances uploaded
Platform · 29 Oct 2020, 08:10 · 6

Dear Zindians,

The final batch of utterances have been uploaded.

Discussion 6 answers

It seems the additional audio files (the previous, and current) are mp3 encoded, while the original audio files are wav encoded. Reading mp3 files with a popular package like librosa is slow compared to reading wav files and therefore creates a bottleneck during model training. I want to believe we're allowed to convert the files to wav format?

Yes, you can convert mp3 to wav.

Thanks, is it just a compilation of the two first datasets, or we have new utterances or cleaning of the two first datasets?

It looks like the new nlp_keywords_29Oct2020.zip sound files are in exactly the same format as AdditionalUtterances.zip. Please confirm.
