Description
ISOLET (Isolated Letter Speech Recognition) dataset was generated as follows: 150 subjects spoke the name of each letter of the alphabet twice. Hence, there are 52 training examples from each speaker. The speakers are grouped into sets of 30 speakers each, 4 groups can serve as training set, the last group as the test set. A total of 3 examples are missing, the authors dropped them due to difficulties in recording.
This is a good domain for a noisy, perceptual task. It is also a very good domain for testing the scaling abilities of algorithms. For example, C4.5 on this domain is slower than backpropagation!

Attributes Information
All attributes are continuous, real-valued attributes scaled into the range -1.0 to 1.0. The features are described in the paper by Cole and Fanty cited below. The features include spectral coefficients; contour features, sonorant features, pre-sonorant features, and post-sonorant features. The exact order of appearance of the features is not known.
