The AMIDA Meeting Corpus is a multi-modal data set consisting of 10 hours of recorded, transcribed and annotated meeting data, with a further 10 hours of signal-only data. For a gentle introduction to the corpus, see the corpus overview. To directly access the data, login or register here for free and go to the Access AMIDA corpus section. The data has been elicited using a scenario in which the participants, including one remote participant for some meetings, play different roles in a design team, taking over from a previous design project to complete a remote-control design task over the course of a day. Detailed information can be found in the documentation section.

Synchronised recording devices: close-talking and far-field microphones, individual and room-view video cameras, projection, a whiteboard, individual pens. Annotation: orthographic transcription, annotations for many different phenomena (dialog acts, head movement etc. ).

Although the AMIDA Meeting Corpus was created for the uses of a consortium that is developing meeting browsing technology, it is designed to be useful for a wide range of research areas.

All of the signals and transcription, and some of the annotations, have been released publicly under the AMIDA Meeting Corpus license, very similar to the Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial ShareAlike 2.5 License. The remaining annotations generated for the original project will be released in stages by January 2007, but annotations may arise out of the ShareAlike licensing for some time to come.
