The Conflict Escalation Resolution (CONFER) Database is a collection of audio-visual recordings of naturalistic interactions from televised political debates suitable for the investigation of conflict behavior as well as other social signals and behaviours. It contains 120 audio-visual episodes in Greek language extracted from a total of 27 TV broadcasts, with total duration of approximately 142 minutes and a total number of 54 subjects (43 male, 11 female). The dataset is split into 2 sets which consist of recordings containing interactions that involve two or three participants, respectively. All 120 clips have been annotated by 10 experts in terms of continuous conflict intensity.
The database has been collected within the IEF Marie Curie Fellowship (CONFER) of Yannis Panagakis and EC H2020 SEWA project (http://www.sewaproject.eu) and is freely available.
