Conversational Engagement Recognition Using Auditory and Visual Cues

Abstract

Automatic prediction of engagement in human-human and human-machine dyadic and multiparty interaction scenarios could greatly aid in evaluation of the success of communication. A corpus of eight face-to-face dyadic casual conversations was recorded and used as the basis for an engagement study, which examined the effectiveness of several methods of engagement level recognition. A convolutional neural network based analysis was seen to be the most effective.
