• Abstract: We describe an instantiation of a new concept for multimodal multisensor data collection of real life in-the-wild free standing social interactions in the form of a Conference Living Lab (ConfLab). ConfLab contains high fidelity data of 49 people during a real-life professional networking event capturing a diverse mix of status, acquaintanceship, and networking motivations at an international conference. Recording such a dataset is challenging due to the delicate trade-off between participant privacy and fidelity of the data, and the technical and logistic challenges involved. We improve upon prior datasets in the fidelity of most of our modalities: 8-camera overhead setup, personal wearable sensors recording body motion (9-axis IMU), Bluetooth-based proximity, and low-frequency audio. Additionally, we use a state-of-the-art hardware synchronization solution and time-efficient continuous technique for annotating body keypoints and actions at high frequencies. We argue that our improvements are essential for a deeper study of interaction dynamics at finer time scales. Our research tasks showcase some of the open challenges related to in-the-wild privacy-preserving social data analysis: keypoints detection from overhead camera views, skeleton based no-audio speaker detection, and F-formation detection. With the ConfLab dataset, we aim to bridge the gap between traditional computer vision tasks and in-the-wild ecologically valid socially-motivated tasks.

  Speech event detection is crucial for multimedia retrieval, involving the tagging of both semantic and acoustic events. This paper tackles two primary challenges in speech event detection: the continual integration of new events without forgetting previous ones, and the disentanglement of semantic from acoustic events. We propose a novel method, 'Double Mixture,' which merges speech expertise with robust memory mechanisms to enhance adaptability and prevent forgetting.
