Request for LibriLight Segmentation Information

#9
by sunghwan-mun - opened

Hello,

I'm working with the MOSEL v2 dataset and trying to process LibriLight audio files to match the TSV annotations. I've noticed that the TSV entries reference pre-segmented audio files (e.g., 3483_2938_thebeetle_21_marsh_64kb_0007) with specific offset and duration values.

However, I'm facing challenges:

  1. The original LibriLight dataset contains long audio files, not the segmented versions referenced in the TSV
  2. Facebook's pre-segmented data appears to be inaccessible, and while their segmentation tools are available, they don't reproduce the exact segments referenced in the TSV files
  3. The TSV segment IDs (like _0007) don't correspond to actual files in the LibriLight distribution

Questions:

  • Is there an official source for the pre-segmented LibriLight audio files that match the MOSEL TSV entries?
  • If not, could you provide the segmentation boundaries or voice activity detection (VAD) information used to create these segments?

Request:
If the pre-segmented data is unavailable, would it be possible to share:

  • The specific segmentation method or parameters used (e.g., VAD thresholds, segment duration targets)
  • A mapping between TSV segment IDs and the original audio files with precise timestamps
  • Or any guidance on how to accurately reproduce the segmentation

This information would greatly help ensure proper alignment between audio and text annotations in the dataset.

Thank you for your excellent work on this dataset.

Dear @sunghwan-mun , we are currently investigating this issue. The correct segmentation of Librilight in MOSEL v2 should be the one obtained from cut_by_vad.py with the default 60 second parameter. Meanwhile we are checking this, you can use MOSEL v1 where the segmentation of the Librlight audio has been done using 30 seconds as argument of cut_by_vad.py. I will keep you posted as soon as we have news on this. Thanks for your understanding.

@mgaido91 Thanks you for investigating this issue. I've already tried running cut_by_vad.py with the 60-second parameter as suggested, but the generated segments still don't align with the MOSEL v2 TSV files - could you please verify this on your end? I'll await your further findings.

We are working on it, I'll let you know as soon as we have updates. Thanks.
