| contents | Speech technologies have advanced rapidly and serve diverse populations worldwide. However, many languages remain underrepresented due to limited resources. In this paper, we introduce \textbf{TaigiSpeech}, a real-world speech intent dataset in Taiwanese Taigi (aka Taiwanese Hokkien/Southern Min), which is a low-resource and primarily spoken language. The dataset is collected from older adults, comprising 21 speakers with a total of 3k utterances. It is designed for practical intent detection scenarios, including healthcare and home assistant applications. To address the scarcity of labeled data, we explore two data mining strategies with two levels of supervision: keyword match data mining with LLM pseudo labeling via an intermediate language and an audio-visual framework that leverages multimodal cues with minimal textual supervision. This design enables scalable dataset construction for low-resource and unwritten spoken languages. TaigiSpeech will be released under the CC BY 4.0 license to facilitate broad adoption and research on low-resource and unwritten languages. The project website and the dataset can be found on https://kwchang.org/taigispeech. |
