Speech Paragraph Labeling

Model training requires a large amount of labeled data. Therefore, before the model training, label the unlabeled audio files. ModelArts enables you to label audio files. In addition, you can modify the labels of audio files, or remove their labels and label the audio files again.

Starting Labeling

  1. Log in to the ModelArts management console. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Data Management > Label Data.

  2. In the labeling job list, select a labeling type from the All type drop-down list, click the job to be performed based on the labeling type. The details page of the job is displayed.

  3. The job details page displays all data of the labeling job.

Synchronizing Data Sources

ModelArts automatically synchronizes data and labeling information from datasets to the labeling job.

To quickly obtain the latest data in the OBS bucket, click Synchronize Data Source in the Unlabeled tab of the labeling job details page to add the data uploaded using OBS to the dataset.

Labeling Audio Files

The labeling job details page displays the Unlabeled and Labeled tabs. The Unlabeled tab is displayed by default.

  1. In the audio file list in the Unlabeled tab, click the target audio file. In the area on the right, the audio file is displayed. Click image1 below the audio file to play the audio.

  2. Select an audio segment based on the content being played, and enter the audio file label and content in the Speech Content text box.

  3. After entering the content, click Label to complete the labeling. The audio file is automatically moved to the Labeled tab.

Viewing the Labeled Audio Files

On the labeling job details page, click the Labeled tab to view the list of labeled audio files. Click the audio file to view the labeling information on the right.

Modifying Labeled Data

After labeling data, you can modify labeled data in the Labeled tab.

  • Modifying a label: On the labeling details page, click the Labeled tab, and select the audio file to be modified from the audio file list. In the right area, modify labeling information and click Label to complete the modification.

  • Deleting a label: Click Delete in the Operation column of the target number to delete the label of the audio segment. Alternatively, you can click image2 above the labeled audio file to delete the label. Then click Label.

Adding an Audio File

In addition to the data synchronized, you can directly add data on labeling job details page for labeling.

  1. On the labeling job details page, click the Unlabeled tab, click Add data in the upper left corner.

  2. Configure input data and click OK.

Deleting Audio Files

You can quickly delete the audio files you want to discard.

In the Unlabeled or Labeled tab, select the audio files to be deleted, and then click Delete File in the upper left corner. In the displayed dialog box, select or deselect Delete the source files from OBS as required. After confirmation, click OK to delete the audio files.

Note

If you select Delete the source files from OBS, audio files stored in the corresponding OBS directory will be deleted when you delete the selected audio files. Deleting source files may affect other dataset versions or datasets using those files. As a result, the page display, training, or inference is abnormal. Deleted data cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
