In order to obtain videos with a large amount of overlapping speech, we used data consisting of political debates and news segments. The views and opinions expressed by speakers in the dataset are those of the individual speakers and do not necessarily reflect positions of the University of Oxford, Naver Corporation, or the authors of the paper.

We would also like to note that the distribution of identities in this dataset may not be representative the global human population. Please be careful of unintended societal, gender, racial, linguistic and other biases when training or deploying models trained on this data.
