ReCANVo: A Dataset of Real-World Communicative and Affective Nonverbal Vocalizations
<p>A dataset of 7077 labeled vocalizations made by non-speaking individuals. Each vocalization lasts approximately 0.5-4 seconds and is labeled with its affective or communicative meaning. Data were acquired in real-world settings (homes, schools, etc.) and were labeled in real-time by parents or caregivers who knew the non-speaking communicator well. </p> <p>dataset_file_directory.csv provides the name of each vocalization file, the corresponding participant ID, and the vocalization meaning or label (delighted, frustrated, request, etc.).</p> <p>If you use this dataset, please <strong>cite Johnson & Narain et al., "ReCANVo: A Database of Real-World Communicative and Affective Nonverbal Vocalizations"</strong>. The authors are Jaya Narain, Kristina T. Johnson, Thomas Quatieri, Pattie Maes, and Rosalind Picard. This paper provides more information about the dataset, including data acquisition methodology, pre-processing procedures, and participant demographics. </p> <p>**J.N. and K.T.J. are joint first authors on this project.
