Metadata required for noise datasets for AI

Metadata Needs

The utility of any Arabic dataset is defined by its granular metadata, which goes beyond standard technical specifications to capture essential linguistic and environmental context.

Pangeanic’s metadata schema rigorously annotates the precise Dialectal Arabic variant, region, and speaker demographics, ensuring models can account for diverse accents and linguistic nuances.

We also meticulously document acoustic characteristics (e.g., reverberation, microphone type) and environmental context (e.g., specific city noise profiles, indoor/outdoor settings) to build highly robust Arabic AI systems.

This granular, language-specific metadata ensures your models generalize effectively and perform with peak accuracy across the complex linguistic and geographic landscape of the Arabic-speaking world.

Off-the-Shelf Arabic Datasets

For teams that need high-quality Arabic data fast, we offer a curated catalog of ready-to-deliver datasets:

Pre-validated corpora for text, speech, image and noise, with clear documentation and metadata.
Standard licensing models (single project, enterprise, or time-bounded) so your legal and procurement teams can move quickly.
Rapid delivery via secure transfer, including test samples for technical validation before purchase.
Transparent pricing based on dataset size, modality (text / speech / image / noise) and exclusivity level.

This model is ideal when you want production-ready Arabic training data with minimal lead time and predictable budgets.

Bespoke Arabic Data Collection & Annotation

When your use case demands very specific domains, dialects or scenarios, we design a custom data program for you:

Scoping & Design
Together we define target dialects, domains, modalities, volumes, quality thresholds and risk constraints (PII, copyright, ethics).
Collection & Curation
We combine our trusted content sources (broadcasters, publishers, partners) with new, project-specific data collection in your markets.
Annotation & Quality Control with PECAT
All data is processed through PECAT, Pangeanic’s multimodal annotation platform, with human-in-the-loop review and measurable KPIs (WER, BLEU, CER, labeling agreement, etc.).
Delivery & Iteration
We deliver in agreed formats and schemas, run pilot fine-tuning cycles with your team, and iteratively refine the dataset based on model performance.

Pricing for bespoke programs is typically project-based, driven by:

Modality and complexity (e.g., conversational ASR vs. simple text classification)
Collection difficulty (dialect, geography, channel access)
Annotation depth (light labeling vs. rich, multi-layer annotation)
Exclusivity requirements and long-term usage rights

This model is ideal when you want production-ready Arabic training data with minimal lead time and predictable budgets.

Finding the Right Model

Many clients start with an off-the-shelf Arabic dataset, then move to a bespoke extension once they see the impact on their LLMs, ASR, or CV systems. Our team can help you:

Compare catalog vs. custom options for your use case
Build a phased program (POC → pilot → scale-up) that matches your roadmap and budget
Ensure full compliance with your internal policies on privacy, IP and model governance

Why is Arabic data collection more challenging than European languages?

Arabic presents a significant challenge due to diglossia between Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and numerous highly divergent dialectal variants (e.g., Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine). A truly functional AI system must understand this broad dialectal spectrum, which requires targeted, granular data collection.
What is the difference between MSA and dialectal Arabic datasets?

MSA datasets focus on the formal, written language found in media and official documents. Dialectal Arabic datasets capture the nuances of everyday spoken language, including informal grammar, vocabulary, and phonetic variations. Pangeanic provides both to ensure comprehensive model training.
How does Pangeanic ensure data quality and cultural relevance?

We use our proprietary PECAT data annotation platform with a rigorous Human-in-the-Loop (HIL) process. Our annotators are native Arabic speakers and regional experts who validate data for linguistic accuracy, cultural appropriateness, and context, ensuring the output is free from harmful bias.
Can your Arabic datasets for AI training be used for fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs)?

Yes. We specialize in preparing massive, high-quality Arabic text and speech datasets specifically structured for LLM pre-training, finetuning, and RAG systems. This includes both large, general corpora and domain-specific text from our exclusive publishing and media agreements.
What types of Arabic noise datasets do you provide?

Our Arabic noise datasets are collected from authentic MENA acoustic environments, including recordings of unique street sounds, public transport, highly reverberant indoor spaces, and regional ambient noise. This is essential for improving the real-world robustness of Arabic Speech Recognition (ASR) models.
Do you offer off-the-shelf Arabic datasets or only custom collections?”
Short answer: “Both. We maintain a catalog of ready-to-deliver Arabic datasets (text, speech, image, noise) and also design bespoke collection and annotation programs for specific domains, dialects or compliance constraints.
