Benchmark results

Kannada is one of the 29 languages in the KuralHub benchmark. Each of the 11 frozen speech models was trained with a small classification head on the shared emotions and scored on a held-out test split. Over all 11 runs the mean test accuracy was 27.5% (median 26.0%). The best run reached 48.0% with wavlm-large. Compare with other languages.

I introduce a Kannada emotional speech dataset with 468 audio samples, contributed by 13 native speakers (4 male, 9 female). Each speaker recorded six sentences in five emotions plus neutral. Recordings were made in an uncontrolled environment. The dataset follows the naming convention AA-EE-SS.wav and is freely available under a Creative Commons license.

Used in the KuralHub benchmark (run ID Kannada-Dataset). See the results above.
