In this paper, we describe an interactive voice-based retrieval system
for lifelogs which has been developed to participate in the third
Lifelog Search Challenge LSC’20, at ACM ICMR’20. Based on a
standard text-based retrieval methodology, the novelty of Voxento
is in the interactive voice facility that allows a user to interact
with a personal lifelog using simple voice commands. Voxento was
developed as an initial prototype of a pervasive computing system
that can be deployed for wearable technologies such as Google Glass.
The version of Voxento described in this paper has been optimised
for use with a desktop computer in order to be competitive at the
LSC’20 challenge.
