Multi-Sensor Voice Command Dataset
Description
The repository includes the audio files recorded from a wireless audio sensor network of 4 sensors. A total of 20 volunteers were instructed to repeat five English voice commands ("Lights On", "Lights Off", "Music On", "Music Stop", "Next Song") from three different positions, for a total of 15 recordings per keyword. Only in a few cases, the number of samples is reduced to 14 after manual data cleaning. Additionally, we registered 15 per-speaker generic spoken utterances, e.g., "Set an alarm to 7am", which are used as negative examples. Given a duration of 3 seconds per utterance, we collected a total of 1.5 hours of audio per sensor. Additionally, the negative data were augmented with 4.4 hours of recordings obtained by replaying the audio files from the test-clean and dev-clean sets of Librispeech using a set of speakers. The audio files are available from the weblink https://www.openslr.org/12 (dev-clean and test-clean repository), which are freely distributed under the CC-BY-4.0 license. Every recording was limited to 3 seconds, leading to a total amount of 5.9 hours of audio per sensor in our multi-sensor dataset.
This dataset favors the investigation of new speech recognition algorithms for audio data recorded with a network of ultra-low-power smart audio sensors. The application is voice command recognition, also known as keyword spotting, where the algorithm must recognize a voice command (e.g. "Lights On"), distinguishing it from other voice commands or other audio tracks, i.e. the negative data. Within a wireless audio sensor network scenario, the speech recognition algorithms are fed with the audio data recorded from multiple sensors, which are located in the environment.
