bert-base-speaker-role-atc-en-uwb-atcc
This model allow to detect speaker roles based on text. Normally, this task is done on the acoustic level. However, we propose to perform this task on the text level. We solve this challenge by performing speaker role with a BERT model. We fine-tune it on the sequence classification task.
For instance:
- Utterance 1: lufthansa six two nine charlie tango report when established
- Utterance 2: report when established lufthansa six two nine charlie tango
Based on that, could you tell the speaker role? Is it Utterance 1 air traffic controller or pilot?
Check the inference API (there are 5 examples)!
This model is a fine-tuned version of bert-base-uncased on the UWB-ATCC corpus.
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 0.6191
- Accuracy: 0.9103
- Precision: 0.9239
- Recall: 0.9161
- F1: 0.9200

Abstract: Personal assistants, automatic speech recognizers and dialogue understanding systems are becoming more critical in our interconnected digital world. A clear example is air traffic control (ATC) communications. ATC aims at guiding aircraft and controlling the airspace in a safe and optimal manner. These voice-based dialogues are carried between an air traffic controller (ATCO) and pilots via very-high frequency radio channels. In order to incorporate these novel technologies into ATC (low-resource domain), large-scale annotated datasets are required to develop the data-driven AI systems. Two examples are automatic speech recognition (ASR) and natural language understanding (NLU). In this paper, we introduce the ATCO2 corpus, a dataset that aims at fostering research on the challenging ATC field, which has lagged behind due to lack of annotated data. The ATCO2 corpus covers 1) data collection and pre-processing, 2) pseudo-annotations of speech data, and 3) extraction of ATC-related named entities. The ATCO2 corpus is split into three subsets. 1) ATCO2-test-set corpus contains 4 hours of ATC speech with manual transcripts and a subset with gold annotations for named-entity recognition (callsign, command, value). 2) The ATCO2-PL-set corpus consists of 5281 hours of unlabeled ATC data enriched with automatic transcripts from an in-domain speech recognizer, contextual information, speaker turn information, signal-to-noise ratio estimate and English language detection score per sample. Both available for purchase through ELDA at this http URL. 3) The ATCO2-test-set-1h corpus is a one-hour subset from the original test set corpus, that we are offering for free at this url: https://www.atco2.org/data. We expect the ATCO2 corpus will foster research on robust ASR and NLU not only in the field of ATC communications but also in the general research community.

Intended uses & limitations
This model was fine-tuned on air traffic control data. We don't expect that it keeps the same performance on some others datasets where BERT was pre-trained or fine-tuned.
Training and evaluation data
See Table 7 (page 19) in our paper: ATCO2 corpus: A Large-Scale Dataset for Research on Automatic Speech Recognition and Natural Language Understanding of Air Traffic Control Communications. We described there the data used to fine-tune our sequence classification model.
- We use the UWB-ATCC corpus to fine-tune this model. You can download the raw data here: https://lindat.mff.cuni.cz/repository/xmlui/handle/11858/00-097C-0000-0001-CCA1-0
- However, do not worry, we have prepared a script in our repository for preparing this databases:
- Dataset preparation folder: https://github.com/idiap/atco2-corpus/tree/main/data/databases/uwb_atcc/
- Prepare the data: https://github.com/idiap/atco2-corpus/blob/main/data/databases/uwb_atcc/data_prepare_uwb_atcc_corpus_other.sh
Writing your own inference script
The snippet of code:
from transformers import pipeline, AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Jzuluaga/bert-base-speaker-role-atc-en-uwb-atcc")
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("Jzuluaga/bert-base-speaker-role-atc-en-uwb-atcc")
##### Process text sample (from UWB-ATCC)
from transformers import pipeline
nlp = pipeline('text-classification', model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
nlp("lining up runway three one csa five bravo")
[{'label': 'pilot',
'score': 0.9998971223831177}]
