The JIBO Kids Corpus is composed of structured and semi-structured speech from 110 children from pre-kindergarten through grade 1. This release version contains 383 individual wav files sampled at 16 kHz. Corresponding word-level transcriptions are also included.
The original directory structure can be retrieved by executing:
cat jibo_release_part_aa jibo_release_part_ab > combined.zip && unzip combined.zip
A temporary alternative link to combined.zip can be found here
Following is a description of the directory structure in this release:
* data/: The data directory contains the actual .wav files, along with their word-level transcription (in .txt files).
* data/letters_digits/: This directory contains session recordings from children attempting the letter and digit identification task.
* data/brush/: This directory contains session recordings from children attempting the explanation task 'brushing their teeth'.
* data/colors/: This directory contains session recordings from children attempting the explanation task 'mixing paint into colors'.
* data/blocks/: This directory contains session recordings from children attempting the explanation task 'determining the number of cubes'.
Each child was anonymized in the format TXYY7ZZZ, where: X in {1,2} is the year of the study, YY in {01, 02, 03} is the child's year in school - 01 - Pre-kindergarten, 02 - Kindergarten, 03 - grade 1. ZZZ is a unique identifier for each child. Boys are odd numbered and girls are even numbered. Thus, T1027235 is child 235, a male kindergartener whose data was collected in year one of the study.
Additional information about the specfic setup used for data collection, as well information about the tasks is present in the paper accompanying this dataset.
