# Multilingual TEDx (mTEDx) — SLR100

## Dataset Description
- **Homepage:** [OpenSLR SLR100](https://www.openslr.org/100/)

**mTEDx** is a multilingual speech recognition and translation corpus built from
[TEDx Talks](https://www.ted.com/watch/tedx-talks).  
Original resource: [https://www.openslr.org/100/](https://www.openslr.org/100/)

The corpus provides audio recordings and VTT transcripts for **8 languages**
(Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Greek, Arabic, German) with
aligned translations into up to 5 languages (English, Spanish, French,
Portuguese, Italian).

## Corpus Statistics

Each row in the dataset corresponds to **one segment** (individual audio clip + transcript).  
The table below reflects sentence counts and total audio duration as reported in `docs/statistics.txt` per language.

### Spanish (`es`)

## Dataset Structure

### Schema

Each example corresponds to **one audio segment** extracted from a full TEDx talk
using the Kaldi segments timestamps file.

| Field        | Type              | Description                                             |
|--------------|-------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| `id`         | `string`          | Unique segment id: `<talk_stem>_<index>` (e.g. `14zpc3Nj_e4_0003`) |
| `audio`      | `Audio`           | Audio float32 waveform of the segment                    |
| `transcript` | `string`          | Transcription text                                       |
| `translation` | `string`         | Translated text, if translated dataset                   |
| `duration`   | `float32`         | Duration of the audio segment **in seconds**            |
| `talk_id`    | `string`          | Source talk file stem                                   |
| `segment_id` | `int32`           | 0-based index of the segment within its talk            |
| `start`      | `float32`         | Segment start time within the source talk (seconds)     |
| `end`        | `float32`         | Segment end time within the source talk (seconds)       |

### Splits

| Split   | Description                         |

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load Arabic training split
ds = load_dataset("deepdml/mtedx", "ar", split="train")
print(ds[0])
# {
#   'id':         '14zpc3Nj_e4_0001',
#   'audio':      {'array': array([...], dtype=float32), 'sampling_rate': 16000},
#   'transcript': 'أكل العالم وغص بنخلة',
#   'duration':   4.16,
#   'talk_id':    '14zpc3Nj_e4',
#   'segment_id': 1,
#   'start':      9.332,
#   'end':        13.492,
#   'language':   'ar'
# }

# Stream a large language without downloading everything
ds = load_dataset("deepdml/mtedx", "es", split="train", streaming=True)
for sample in ds:
    audio = sample["audio"]["array"]           # numpy float32 array @ 16 kHz
    text  = sample["transcript"]
    dur   = sample["duration"]                 # seconds
    break

# ASR fine-tuning example (Whisper / wav2vec2)
ds = load_dataset("deepdml/mtedx", "fr", split="train")
ds = ds.select_columns(["audio", "transcript", "duration"])

## Source Data

Downloaded from [OpenSLR SLR100](https://www.openslr.org/100/).  
Each language pack (`mtedx_<lang>.tgz`) contains:

- `data/<split>/wav/` — Full-talk FLAC audio files
- `data/<split>/vtt/` — WebVTT transcript files (`<id>.<lang>.vtt`)
- `data/<split>/txt/` — Segments and Plain-text transcripts
- `docs/statistics.txt` — Per-split statistics

The upload script (`create_mtedx_dataset.py`) slices the full-talk FLAC files
into individual segments using the kaldi segments timestamps and discards segments shorter
than 0.5 s or longer than 30 s.
