What is a Wake Word and Command Dataset?

A wake word and command dataset is a collection of labeled audio recordings specifically designed for training and evaluating voice-activated systems, such as voice assistants. The dataset typically contains two types of data:

Wake Word Data: Audio samples of a specific word or phrase (e.g., "Hey Siri," "Hey Tesla") that are used to "wake up" or activate a voice assistant. This data includes both positive examples (correctly spoken wake words) and negative examples (similar-sounding words, background noise, or incorrect phrases) to help the system learn to accurately detect when the wake word is spoken.

Command Data: Once the wake word has activated the device, the next step is processing voice commands. Command datasets contain audio samples of spoken commands (e.g., "Play music," "Turn on the lights"). These commands help train the system to recognize and respond to different instructions after the wake word is detected.
