I am trying to load an audo data using the below code but I am getting the error that states that, TypeError: DatasetInfo. **init** () got an unexpected keyword argument ‘task\_templates’, can someone help?

from datasets import load\_dataset, Audio

dataset = load\_dataset(“PolyAI/minds14”, “en-US”, split=“train”)  
dataset = dataset.cast\_column(“audio”, Audio(sampling\_rate=16000))

You need **trust\_remote\_code=True** for this dataset.

```py
from datasets import load_dataset, Audio

dataset = load_dataset("PolyAI/minds14", "en-US", split="train", trust_remote_code=True)
dataset = dataset.cast_column("audio", Audio(sampling_rate=16000))

```
