Conditional Sequence Model for Context-Based Recognition of Gaze Aversion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Eye gaze and gesture form key conversational grounding cues that are used extensively in face-to-face interaction among people. To accurately recognize visual feedback during interaction, people often use contextual knowledge from previous and current events to anticipate when feedback is most likely to occur. In this paper, we investigate how dialog context from an embodied conversational agent (ECA) can improve visual recognition of eye gestures. We propose a new framework for contextual recognition based on Latent-Dynamic Conditional Random Field (LDCRF) models to learn the sub-structure and external dynamics of contextual cues. Our experiments show that adding contextual information improves visual recognition of eye gestures and demonstrate that the LDCRF model for context-based recognition of gaze aversion gestures outperforms Support Vector Machines, Hidden Markov Models, and Conditional Random Fields.

A Novel Approach to Conditional Random Field-based Named Entity Recognition using Persian Specific Features
Named Entity Recognition is an information extraction technique that identifies name entities in a text. Three popular methods have been conventionally used namely: rule-based, machine-learning-based and hybrid of them to extract named entities from a text. Machine-learning-based methods have good performance in the Persian language if they are trained with good features. To get good performanc...
متن کاملContext-based visual feedback recognition
During face-to-face conversation, people use visual feedback (e.g., head and eye gesture) to communicate relevant information and to synchronize rhythm between participants. When recognizing visual feedback, people often rely on more than their visual perception. For instance, knowledge about the current topic and from previous utterances help guide the recognition of nonverbal cues. The goal o...

Phoneme recognition is one of the fundamental phases of automatic speech recognition. Coarticulation which refers to the integration of sounds, is one of the important obstacles in phoneme recognition. In other words, each phone is influenced and changed by the characteristics of its neighbor phones, and coarticulation is responsible for most of these changes. The idea of modeling the effects o...
