Dataset Statistics

Additional Information

Processing

Dynaword keeps the final text ASR transcript, the source segment ID, and the meeting date. Each source speech segment remains a separate document.

Limitations

The transcripts are weak labels generated by an ensemble of four Faroese-adapted ASR systems and selected through weighted ROVER voting. Errors can occur in overlapping speech, dialectal language, names, interruptions, and spontaneous speech. Much of the text is lowercased and lacks punctuation.

The corpus represents parliamentary discourse and a limited group of speakers, so its topics, register, dialects, and demographics do not represent Faroese language use as a whole.

Source

The source is davidilag/FPSC, published by Dávid í Lág and collaborators at the University of the Faroe Islands. FPSC was built from public parliamentary recordings and metadata published by Løgtingið.
