Datasets Produced by LILiR

LILiR main dataset - under construction, this is a big task and will be available at some point in the future.

Image capture rig

One of the main tasks of LILiR is to provide a large English audio visual dataset. This dataset is currently under preparation. It will consist 20 speakers reading 200 sentences per speaker within the Resource Management domain of discourse. The dataset will be captured at multiple viewing angles in both HD and SD and will also provide some natural conversational speech.
