Here is a brief description of the project.
'The purpose of the project is to make available a standard training and test setup for language modeling experiments. The training/held-out data was produced from a download at statmt.org using a combination of Bash shell and Perl scripts distributed here. This also means that your results on this data set are reproducible by the research community at large. Besides the scripts needed to rebuild the training/held-out data, it also makes available log-probability values for each word in each of ten held-out data sets, for each of the following baseline models:

| 5-2-7 | EEG-face tracking- audio 24 GB data set Kara One, Toronto, Canada We are making 24 GB of a new dataset, called Kara One, freely available. This database combines 3 modalities (EEG, face tracking, and audio) during imagined and articulated speech using phonologically-relevant phonemic and single-word prompts. It is the result of a collaboration between the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute (in the University Health Network) and the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto.
In the associated paper (abstract below), we show how to accurately classify imagined phonological categories solely from EEG data. Specifically, we obtain up to 90% accuracy in classifying imagined consonants from imagined vowels and up to 95% accuracy in classifying stimulus from active imagination states using advanced deep-belief networks.
Data from 14 participants are available here: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~complingweb/data/karaOne/karaOne.html.

PAPER Shunan Zhao and Frank Rudzicz (2015) Classifying phonological categories in imagined and articulated speech. In Proceedings of ICASSP 2015, Brisbane Australia ABSTRACT This paper presents a new dataset combining 3 modalities (EEG, facial, and audio) during imagined and vocalized phonemic and single-word prompts. We pre-process the EEG data, compute features for all 3 modalities, and perform binary classi?cation of phonological categories using a combination of these modalities. For example, a deep-belief network obtains accuracies over 90% on identifying consonants, which is signi?cantly more accurate than two baseline supportvectormachines. Wealsoclassifybetweenthedifferent states (resting, stimuli, active thinking) of the recording, achievingaccuraciesof95%.

| 5-2-11 | JLCorpus - Emotional Speech corpus with primary and secondary emotions JLCorpus - Emotional Speech corpus with primary and secondary emotions:
For further understanding the wide array of emotions embedded in human speech, we are introducing an emotional speech corpus. In contrast to the existing speech corpora, this corpus was constructed by maintaining an equal distribution of 4 long vowels in New Zealand English. This balance is to facilitate emotion related formant and glottal source feature comparison studies. Also, the corpus has 5 secondary emotions along with 5 primary emotions. Secondary emotions are important in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), where the aim is to model natural conversations among humans and robots. But there are very few existing speech resources to study these emotions,and this work adds a speech corpus containing some secondary emotions. Please use the corpus for emotional speech related studies. When you use it please include the citation as: Jesin James, Li Tian, Catherine Watson, 'An Open Source Emotional Speech Corpus for Human Robot Interaction Applications', in Proc. Interspeech, 2018. To access the whole corpus including the recording supporting files, click the following link: https://www.kaggle.com/tli725/jl-corpus, (if you have already installed the Kaggle API, you can type the following command to download: kaggle datasets download -d tli725/jl-corpus) Or if you simply want the raw audio+txt files, click the following link: https://www.kaggle.com/tli725/jl-corpus/downloads/Raw%20JL%20corpus%20(unchecked%20and%20unannotated).rar/4 The corpus was evaluated by a large scale human perception test with 120 participants.

OPENGLOT is a publically available database that was designed primarily for the evaluation of glottal inverse filtering algorithms. In addition, the database can be used in evaluating formant estimation methods. OPENGLOT consists of four repositories. Repository I contains synthetic glottal flow waveforms, and speech signals generated by using the Liljencrants–Fant (LF) waveform as an excitation, and an all-pole vocal tract model. Repository II contains glottal flow and speech pressure signals generated using physical modelling of human speech production. Repository III contains pairs of glottal excitation and speech pressure signal generated by exciting 3D printed plastic vocal tract replica with LF excitations via a loudspeaker. Finally, Repository IV contains multichannel recordings (speech pressure signal, EGG, high-speed video of the vocal folds) from natural production of speech.
OPENGLOT is available at: http://research.spa.aalto.fi/projects/openglot/

The MEDIA data can be found in the ELRA Catalogue under the following references: Data available from the ELRA Catalogue can be obtained easily by contacting ELRA. The MEDIA project was carried out within the framework of Technolangue, the French national research programme funded by the French Ministry of Research and New Technologies (MRNT) with the objective of running a campaign for the evaluation of man-machine dialogue systems for French. The campaign was distributed over two actions: an evaluation taking into account the dialogue context and an evaluation not taking into account the dialogue context. PortMedia was a follow up project supported by the French Research Agency (ANR). The French and Italian corpus was produced by ELDA, with the same paradigm and specifications as the MEDIA speech database but on a different domain.

You can now use the model on your own documents and get state-of-the-art performances in only 3 lines of code.
Check out the:
- Project website: https://drbert.univ-avignon.fr/
- Hugging Face models: https://huggingface.co/Dr-BERT
Our model was trained on 128 GPU from Jean-Zay and assessed on 11 distinct practical biomedical tasks for French language, which came from public and private data. These tasks include : Named Entity Recognition (NER), Part-Of-Speech tagging (POS), binary/multi-class/multi-label classification, and multiple-choice question answering. The outcomes revealed that DrBERT enhanced the performance of most tasks compared to prior techniques, indicating that from-scratch pre-trained strategy is still the most effective for BERT language models on French Biomedical.
Tutorials about biomedical natural language processing are coming soon, stay tuned !!

It will be great if this information can be shared with the ISCA community!
