Benchmarking the Unsupervised Discovery of Phoneme Inventories With Discrete Speech Units
DiscoPhon is a multilingual benchmark evaluating unsupervised phoneme discovery from discrete speech units. Given only 10 hours of speech in an unseen language, models must produce discrete units that map to a predefined phoneme inventory.
Getting started
DiscoPhon requires Python ≥ 3.12 and has no system dependencies.
- Install this package:
pip install discophon # core: data preparation and phoneme discovery pip install discophon[abx] # adds ABX discriminability (fastabx) pip install discophon[baselines] # adds the baseline models
- Follow the tutorials to download data, evaluate models, and prepare your submission.
- Current leaderboard.
