Research paper thumbnail of On the automatic recognition of facial non-verbal communication meaning in informal, spontaneous conversation

NVC is essential to understand communicated meaning in common social situations, such as informal conversation. The expression and perception of NVC depends on many factors, including social and cultural context. The development of methods to automatically recognise NVC enables new, intuitive computer interfaces for novel applications, particularly when combined with emotion or natural speech recognition. This thesis addresses two questions: how can facial NVC signals be automatically recognised, given cultural differences in NVC perception? and, what do automatic recognition methods tell us about facial behaviour during informal conversations? A new data set was created based on recordings of people engaged in informal conversation. Minimal constraints were applied during the recording of the participants to ensure that the conversations were spontaneous. Th...
