Introducing new speech corpora for ML that can contribute to building an environment-invariant speech recognition model — Since the rise of the era of the artificial intelligence, the research communities of various tasks, such as speech recognition, speaker diarization, have well been benefitted from the growing number of the speech/audio datasets being released every year. However, a large portion of them lost sight of lots of essential…

Introducing a brand new audio dataset about human nonverbal vocalization for machine learning. It’s often been neglected, however, turns out to be the hidden gem of communication — In an endeavor to make machines understand human language, the research community has devoted to solving many problems, including speech recognition, spoken language understanding, natural language understanding(e.g. SQuAD, CHiME-6). And they set a new state-of-the-art record in many of them every year.
