Axiom voice recognition dataset

The AXIOM Voice Dataset has the main purpose of gathering audio recordings from Italian natural language speakers. This voice data collection intended to obtain audio reconding sample for the training and testing of VIMAR algorithm implemented for the Smart Home scenario for the Axiom board. The final goal was to developing an efficient voice recognition system using machine learning algorithms.  A team of UX researchers of the University of Siena collected data for five months and tested the voice recognition system on the AXIOM board [1]. The data acquisition process involved natural Italian speakers who provided their written consent to participate in the research project. The participants were selected in order to maintain a cluster with different characteristics in gender, age, region of origin and background.
