• Short description of dataset and use case(s):

HKUST Mandarin Telephone Speech, Part 1 was developed by Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). In 2004, HKUST was contracted to collect and transcribe 200 hours of Mandarin Chinese conversational telephone speech from Mandarin speakers in mainland China under the DARPA EARS framework. The first 50 hours of speech and transcripts were released in June 2004 to the EARS community for the RT-04 NIST evaluation. NIST partitioned the remaining 150 hours of collection into training, development and evaluation sets. This release contains the training and development sets with 873 and 24 calls, respectively

Review the HKUST dataset request and verify the LDC2005S15 and LDC2005T32 sources and the LDC User Agreement for Non-Members license. The issue names no repository files, tests, or implementation entry point, so first identify the project’s dataset-addition conventions; completion would require a defined, licensed HKUST dataset integration and validation.
