Subject: Re: Phonetic balance From: Liu Gang <liugang.usa@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 21:59:17 -0600 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--001a1135e19a2a4bcd0507c9a758 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Micha=C5=82 , As far as I know, TIMIT data is a phoneme balanced speech data (at least this is one of its goal) and can be acquired via LDC with following info: https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC93S1 But to make your own data balanced, may be you can decode phoneme first, then artificially remove some some phone classes to ensure a balanced speech dataset. One toolkit for for phoneme decoding is: http://speech.fit.vutbr.cz/software/phoneme-recognizer-based-long-temporal-= context Good luck.
