# MuPe Life Stories Dataset
A new publicly available dataset consisting of 289 life story interviews (365 hours), featuring a broad range of speakers varying in age, education, and regional accents.
## Metadata:
- **audio_id**: Sequential id for the interview;
- **audio_name**: Unique code for the interview;
- **file_path**: Wav audio file path;
- **speaker_type**: R is the interviewee, P/1 is interviewer 1, P/2 is interviewer 2 and so on;
- **speaker_code**: Unique code for the speaker;
- **speaker_gender**: Gender of the speaker;
- **education**: Education level of the interviewee, filled only when speaker_type = 'R';
- **birth_state**: Birth state (region) of the interviewee, filled only when speaker_type = 'R';
- **birth_country**: Birth country of the speaker;
- **age**: Age of the interviewee, calculated with recording_year minus year of birth, filled only when speaker_type = 'R';
- **recording_year**: The year when the audio was recorded;
- **audio_quality**: Can be high or low;
- **start_time**: The start time in the original complete audio file;
- **end_time**: The end time in the original complete audio file;
- **duration**: The duration of the segment;
- **normalized_text**: Text normalized in lowercase and without punctuation marks;
- **original_text**: Text before normalization.
- **racial_category**: Racial category may be Black, White, Pardo (Mixed) and Asian. Few interviews have this information.
