Despite the success in technology development, the project faced evaluation challenges due to the scarcity and legal restrictions surrounding real-world criminal activity datasets. In response, we introduce ROXSD, a simulated dataset of communication in organized crime. ROXSD is a set of wiretapped conversations (collected through communication service providers) between drug dealing suspects, following a realistic screenplay (incl. realistic conditions and constraints of a real investigation) prepared by Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). With a focus on multimodality and multilinguality, the dataset comprises 20 hours of telephone and video conversations involving 104 speakers, and is further aligned with ground-truth annotations for each modality involved, enabling precise evaluation and development of technologies. In addition, the multimodal data are enhanced with metadata and prior knowledge (e.g., suspects’ biometric profiles) which is typically available as a result of lawfully intercepted communication. This paper introduces ROXSD as a pivotal resource for advancing technology in criminal research (specifically in domain of speech, text and network analysis). ROXSD not only facilitates in the domain of technology development and evaluation but also showcases the potential of simulated datasets in advancing the field of organized crime analytics, emphasizing the importance of such datasets in the absence of comprehensive real-world alternatives.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/papers/2024/Motlicek_ODYSSEY-2024_2024.pdf} }
