Emotionplex duplex multispeaker

About 55 hours of English full-duplex conversations for finetuning PersonaPlex. Each clip is one user turn and one agent reply. Speech was synthesized with Boson AI Higgs Audio v3 TTS 4B (Higgs TTS 3). The agent was trained to follow:

Answer with a {emotion} tone.

where {emotion} is happy, sad, angry, or neutral.

Speech time by emotion, from each turn's start and end. Padding and the gap between speakers are not included. The channels overlap, so this sum is longer than the stereo timeline. Each speaker has 6,000 turns in every emotion, 1,500 clips for each of the 16 user-to-agent pairs.

	Happy	Sad	Angry	Neutral
User	7h53m	7h28m	7h02m	5h59m
Agent	7h28m	8h01m	6h18m	5h14m

Total speech time is 55h23m.

This dataset is not affiliated with NVIDIA or Boson AI. See NOTICE.

The dataset page opens on the preview subset: eight full stereo clips, one per emotion pair. The rest are in the full subset. Those show “Not supported with pagination yet” in the viewer.

Layout

Stereo WAV at 24 kHz. Left channel is the agent (SPEAKER_BROKER). Right channel is the user (SPEAKER_CLIENT). A .json file with the same stem sits next to each WAV.

Path	What it is
stereo_wav/<shard>/	Stereo clips and sidecars (text_prompt, alignments, voice, emotion). Shards stay under the Hub limit of 10,000 files per directory.
turns/<shard>/	The user and agent mono takes packed into each stereo clip
train.jsonl, val.jsonl	{"path": "stereo_wav/000/<id>.wav", "duration": ...}
dialogues.jsonl, users.jsonl	Plain text of the lines before TTS
voice_prompts/	LibriTTS-R reference clips used as the PersonaPlex voice prompt
roomtone/classroom.wav	Room tone mixed under the user channel

Paths in train.jsonl, val.jsonl, sidecar wav, and turns[].path are relative to this dataset root. voice_prompt and voices.*.path are relative to the stereo file, for example ../../voice_prompts/103.wav, because the PersonaPlex trainer joins a relative voice path onto the WAV's directory (stereo_wav/<shard>/).

sphn opens train.jsonl paths from the process working directory. Train with this dataset directory as the working directory, or expand those paths to absolute paths on your machine.
