We have collected a corpus of data from natural meetings that occurred at the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) in Berkeley, California over the last three years. The corpus contains audio recorded simultaneously from head-worn and table-top microphones, word-level transcripts of meetings, and various metadata on participants, meetings, and hardware. Such a corpus supports work in automatic speech recognition, noise robustness, dialog modeling, prosody, rich transcription, information retrieval, and more. We present details on the contents of the corpus, as well as rationales for the decisions that led to its configuration. The corpus were delivered to the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC).
