ATC Dataset - Fine-Tuning Whisper

This dataset was created to fine-tune OpenAI's Whisper model for improving transcription accuracy in Air Traffic Control (ATC) communications. The dataset contains transcriptions and corresponding audio files from two main sources: ATCO2 and the UWB-ATCC corpus, specifically selected for aviation-related communications. The dataset is publicly available on Hugging Face for use in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) projects.

For more details on the fine-tuning process, check out the blog post and the corresponding GitHub repository.

Dataset Overview

  • Dataset Name: ATC Dataset
  • Total Samples: 11.9k (Training), 2.93k (Test)
  • Data Sources:
  • Format: Audio files (WAV format) with corresponding transcriptions.
  • The Transciption Ground Truth is within the text column.
  • The Audio Ground Truth is within the audio column.
  • License: MIT

This dataset is particularly useful for training speech recognition models like Whisper on short, domain-specific audio transmissions, such as those between pilots and air traffic controllers.

Key Features

  • Domain-specific: Tailored to ATC communications with specialized phraseology and terms.
  • Diverse accents: Contains multiple accent variations to reflect real-world international aviation communication.
  • Cleaned Data: Includes only high-quality samples after filtering erroneous or incomplete transcriptions.

Usage

  1. Install Dependencies:
    Use Hugging Face's datasets library to load the dataset:

    from datasets import load_dataset
    dataset = load_dataset("jacktol/atc-dataset")
    
  2. Training:
    The dataset is ready for speech recognition tasks such as fine-tuning Whisper models. It includes training and test splits to evaluate models based on Word Error Rate (WER).
