Request for full BATON dataset access
Hi Henry,
First of all, congratulations on the acceptance of your paper!
I am a Ph.D. student at Nanjing University. I am very interested in utilizing the BATON dataset for my academic research, specifically focusing on intelligent cockpit applications. Like other researchers, I will strictly follow the dataset license, citation guidelines, and non-commercial-use requirements.
I am following up on the dataset access. I noticed in the previous discussion that the full BATON dataset would be officially released after the review process was finalized. Since the paper has now been accepted, I was hoping to request access to the complete dataset.
Thank you very much for your time and for your great contribution to the community.
Best regards,
Jacky
Hi Henry,
I am an Assistant Professor of Computational Interaction at Hasso Plattner Institute, and we would also be very much interested in working with the dataset. Therefore, I am "+1-ing" on Jacky's request and would be happy if you could make the dataset publicly available.
Best

Dear all,
Thank you very much for your interest in BATON, your kind messages, and your patience regarding the dataset release.
I would like to provide a brief update. Unfortunately, the BATON paper was not accepted at ACM Multimedia 2026. After carefully reviewing the feedback and reconsidering the scope of the project, we have decided not to release the current version as the final public dataset.
Instead, we are substantially expanding the dataset, improving its annotations and benchmark protocols, and conducting additional experiments and validations. We are preparing this revised and extended version for submission to the upcoming KDD cycle. The latest complete version of the dataset, together with the corresponding documentation, benchmark splits, and release instructions, will be made available alongside that submission or publication process.
We sincerely appreciate your continued interest and understanding. It is very encouraging to know that researchers from both intelligent-cockpit and computational-interaction communities see potential value in BATON. We hope that the expanded release will provide a more comprehensive, reliable, and useful resource for the community.
Thank you again for your patience and support. We will post further updates here once the revised dataset and release materials are ready.
Best regards,
Henry
Dear Henry,
Thanks for letting us know, and good luck with the submission! If there is any chance to share an extended version of the current sample dataset, please reach out; I'm happy to put you in touch with the students currently working with it. They would appreciate it.
Thanks and best
Patrick
