From a User-created Corpus of Virtual Agent's Non-verbal Behavior to a Computational Model of Interpersonal Attitudes

چکیده
Human’s non-verbal behavior may convey different meanings. They can reflect one’s emotional states, communicative intentions but also his social relations with someone else, i.e. his interpersonal attitude. In order to determine the non-verbal behavior that a virtual agent should display to convey particular interpersonal attitudes, we have collected a corpus of virtual agent’s non-verbal behavior directly created by users. Based on the analysis of the corpus, we propose a Bayesian model to automatically compute the virtual agent’s non-verbal behavior conveying interpersonal attitudes.

From Non-verbal Signals Sequence Mining to Bayesian Networks for Interpersonal Attitudes Expression
In this paper, we present a model and its evaluation for expressing attitudes through sequences of non-verbal signals for Embodied Conversational Agents. To build our model, a corpus of interpersonal job interview interactions has been annotated at two levels: the non-verbal behavior of the recruiters as well as their expressed attitudes was annotated. Using a sequence mining method, sequences ...
متن کاملA crowdsourcing toolbox for a user-perception based design of social virtual actors
One of the key challenges in the development of social virtual actors is to give them the capability to display socio-emotional states through their non-verbal behavior. Based on studies in human and social sciences or on annotated corpora of human expressions, different models to synthesize virtual agent’s non-verbal behavior have been developed. One of the major issues in the synthesis of beh...
متن کاملA multimodal corpus for the study of non-verbal behavior expressing interpersonal stances
In order to give the capability to a virtual recruiter to convey interpersonal stances through its non-verbal behavior, we propose to use a multimodal corpus approach using videos of job recruitment enactments. The corpus has been annotated at different levels to consider both the participants’ non-verbal behavior and the expressed stances. In this article, we present this corpus and our annota...
متن کاملInvestigating Non-Verbal Behaviors Conveying Interpersonal Stances
Interpersonal stances are expressed by non-verbal behaviors on a variety of different modalities. The perception of these behaviors is influenced by the context of the interaction, how they are sequenced with other behaviors from the same person and behaviors from other interactants. In this paper, we introduce a framework considering the expressions of stances on different layers during an int...
متن کاملA computational model of social attitudes for a virtual recruiter
This paper presents a computational model of social attitude for virtual agents. In our work, the agent acts as a virtual recruiter and interacts with a user during job interview training. Training sessions have a predefined level of difficulty, which is used along with the perceived user’s anxiety at each speaking turn to compute the objectives of the recruiter, namely to challenge or comfort ...
