Description:*Introduction* IARPA Babel Assamese Language Pack IARPA-babel102b-v0.5a was developed by Appen for the IARPA (Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity) Babel program. It contains approximately 205 hours of Assamese conversational and scripted telephone speech collected in 2012 and 2013 along with corresponding transcripts. The Babel program focuses on underserved languages and seeks to develop speech recognition technology that can be rapidly applied to any human language to support keyword search performance over large amounts of recorded speech. *Data* The speech in this release represents three dialects spoken in Assam, a state in northeastern India. The gender distribution among speakers is approximately even; speakers' ages range from 16 years to 66 years. Calls were made using different telephones (e.g., mobile, landline) from a variety of environments including the street, a home or office, a public place, and inside a vehicle. All audio data is presented as 8kHz 8-bit a-law encoded audio in sphere format. Transcripts are available in two versions: Assamese script and a romanization scheme developed by Appen Butler Hill, both encoded in UTF-8. Further information about transcription methodology is contained in the documentation accompanying this release. Evaluation data is available from NIST in support of OpenKWS. *Samples* Please view the following samples: * Audio Sample * Transcription Sample * Romanized Transcription Sample *Updates* None at this time.
