• Title: RoDia: A New Dataset for Romanian Dialect Identification from Speech
• Abstract summary: RoDia is the first dataset for Romanian dialect identification from speech. Includes speech samples from five distinct regions of Romania, covering both urban and rural environments. Top scoring model achieves a macro F1 score of 59.83% and a micro F1 score of 62.08%, indicating that the task is challenging.

• Abstract: We introduce RoDia, the first dataset for Romanian dialect identification from speech. The RoDia dataset includes a varied compilation of speech samples from five distinct regions of Romania, covering both urban and rural environments, totaling 2 hours of manually annotated speech data. Along with our dataset, we introduce a set of competitive models to be used as baselines for future research. The top scoring model achieves a macro F1 score of 59.83% and a micro F1 score of 62.08%, indicating that the task is challenging. We thus believe that RoDia is a valuable resource that will stimulate research aiming to address the challenges of Romanian dialect identification. We release our dataset at https://github.com/codrut2/RoDia.

  We focus on phoneme recognition using Allosaurus, a method for multilingual recognition based on phonetic annotation. To evaluate in a challenging real-world scenario, we curate phone recognition datasets for Bukusu and Saamia, two varieties of the Luhya language cluster of western Kenya and eastern Uganda. We find that fine-tuning of Allosaurus, even with just 100 utterances, leads to significant improvements in phone error rates.
