FFSTC: Fongbe to French Speech Translation Corpus
In this paper, we introduce the Fongbe to French Speech Translation Corpus (FFSTC) for the first time. This corpus encompasses approximately 31 hours of collected Fongbe language content, featuring both French transcriptions and corresponding Fongbe voice recordings. FFSTC represents a comprehensive dataset compiled through various collection methods and the efforts of dedicated individuals. Furthermore, we conduct baseline experiments using Fairseq's transformer_s and conformer models to evaluate data quality and validity. Our results indicate a score of 8.96 for the transformer_s model and 8.14 for the conformer model, establishing a baseline for the FFSTC corpus.

When Does Data Augmentation Help? Evaluating LLM and Back-Translation Methods for Hausa and Fongbe NLP
Data scarcity limits NLP development for low-resource African languages. We evaluate two data augmentation methods -- LLM-based generation (Gemini 2.5 Flash) and back-translation (NLLB-200) -- for Hausa and Fongbe, two W…
Data AugmentationPOS TaggingFrom Speech to Text Corpora: Evaluating ASR-Based Data Acquisition for Low-Resource Fongbe and Hausa
Low-resource African languages lack text corpora needed for language model training. We investigate whether ASR pipelines can extend text resources for two typologically distinct West African languages: Fongbe (tonal, di…
Microsoft Speech Language Translation (MSLT) Corpus: The IWSLT 2016 release for English, French and German
We describe the Microsoft Speech Language Translation (MSLT) corpus, which was created in order to evaluate end-to-end conversational speech translation quality. The corpus was created from actual conversations over Skyp…
