GigaSpeech dataset card (speechcolab/gigaspeech), SpeechColab, Hugging Face, n.d., Licensing Information.
Open the original- What it measures
- The corpus is distributed through the Hugging Face Hub, where the card lists the license as apache-2.0. The card adds the restriction on the audio itself, so the two statements need to be read together.
- What it does not show
- The card says access is provided under certain conditions and terms. Commercial users should read those terms on the card before they use the audio, and should not rely on the Apache label alone.
