MLCommons has partnered with Hugging Face to launch a significant dataset named Unsupervised Peoples Speech, which includes over a million hours of audio recordings in 89 languages. This initiative aims to enhance research and development in speech technology, particularly for low-resource languages and diverse accents. The dataset is intended to broaden the scope of natural language processing and improve communication technologies globally.
Despite its ambitious goals, the dataset poses risks, particularly concerning bias in AI models trained on it. Most recordings are in American-accented English, which could lead to challenges in recognizing non-native speech or generating voices in other languages. MLCommons acknowledges these potential flaws and emphasizes the need for careful use and ongoing improvements to the dataset.
• MLCommons and Hugging Face release a vast speech dataset for AI research.
• The dataset aims to improve speech technology across multiple languages.
