Most of these smart homes provide enhanced interaction by relying on context-aware systems learned on data. Whereas voice-based interaction is the current emerging trend, most available corpora are either concerned only with home automation sensors or only with audio technology, which limits the development of context-aware voice-based systems. This paper presents the VocADom@A4H corpus, which is a dataset composed of users’ interactions recorded in a fully equipped Smart Home. About 12 hours of multichannel distant speech signal synchronized with logs of an openHAB home automation system were collected from 11 participants who performed activities of daily living with the presence of real-life noises, such as other persons speaking, use of vacuum cleaner, TV, etc. This corpus can serve as a valuable material for studies in pervasive intelligence, such as human tracking, human activity recognition, context aware interaction, and robust distant speech processing in the home. Experiments performed on multichannel speech and home automation sensors data for robust voice activity detection and multiresident localization show the potential of the corpus to support the development of context-aware smart home systems.", "authors": { "1": { "first_name": "François", "last_name": "Portet" }, "2": { "first_name": "Sybille", "last_name": "Caffiau" }, "3": { "first_name": "Fabien", "last_name": "Ringeval" }, "4": { "first_name": "Michel", "last_name": "Vacher" }, "5": { "first_name": "Nicolas", "last_name": "Bonnefond" }, "6": { "first_name": "Solange", "last_name": "Rossato" }, "7": { "first_name": "Benjamin", "last_name": "Lecouteux" }, "8": { "first_name": "Thierry", "last_name": "Desot" } }, "year": 2019, "uri": "http://iihm.imag.fr/publication/PCR+19h/", "pages": "811-818", "bibtype": "inproceedings", "id": 916, "abbr": "PCR+19h", "address": "Fukuoka, Japan", "date": "2019-08-05", "type": "Conférences internationales de large diffusion avec comité de lecture sur texte complet", "booktitle": "PICom 2019 - 17th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Intelligence and Computing", "type_publi": "icolcomlec" }, { "chapter": 5, "publisher": "ACM", "doi": "https://doi.org/10.1145/2738047", "lang": "en", "uri": "http://iihm.imag.fr/publication/VCP+15a/", "title": "Evaluation of a context-aware voice interface for Ambient Assisted Living: qualitative user study vs. quantitative system evaluation", "bibtype": "article", "journal": "ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing", "year": 2015, "number": 2, "pages": "1-36", "volume": 7, "id": 722, "abbr": "VCP+15a", "authors": { "1": { "first_name": "Michel", "last_name": "Vacher" }, "2": { "first_name": "Sybille", "last_name": "Caffiau" }, "3": { "first_name": "François", "last_name": "Portet" }, "4": { "first_name": "Brigitte", "last_name": "Meillon" }, "5": { "first_name": "Camille", "last_name": "Roux" }, "6": { "first_name": "Eléna", "last_name": "Elias" }, "7": { "first_name": "Benjamin", "last_name": "Lecouteux" }, "8": { "first_name": "Pedro", "last_name": "Chahuara" } }, "date": "2015-07-01", "type": "Revues internationales avec comité de lecture", "abstract": "This paper presents an experiment with seniors and people with visual impairment in a voice-controlled\r\nsmart home using the SWEET-HOME system.
