We present a novel approach to computational modeling of social interactions based on modeling of essential social interaction predicates (ESIPs) such as joint attention and entrainment. Based on sound social psychological theory and... more
One of the most important information that speech acoustics provide is the expression of emotions. The purpose of this research is to identify the pitch differences between two basic emotions: anger and joy. In order to find answers to... more
Automatic emotion recognition plays a central role in the technologies underlying social robots, affect-sensitive human computer interaction design and affect-aware tutors. Although there has been a considerable amount of research on... more
There has been a growing interest in the computer science field for automatic analysis and recognition of facial beauty and attractiveness. Most of the proposed studies attempt to model and predict facial attractiveness using a single... more
As robots are increasingly deployed in settings requiring social interaction, research is needed to examine the social signals perceived by humans when robots display certain social cues. In this paper, we report a study designed to... more
This article proposes an automatic approach-based on non-verbal speech features-aimed at the automatic discrimination between depressed and non-depressed speakers. The experiments have been performed over one of the largest corpora... more
We present a novel approach to computational modeling of social interactions based on modeling of essential social interaction predicates (ESIPs) such as joint attention and entrainment. Based on sound social psychological theory and... more
The EMPIRE workshop attempts to provide some answers to the growing interest of the user modeling research community on the role of human factors, especially personality and emotions, on various aspects of user modeling. This rst edition... more
Virtual environments and computer games incorporate music in order to enrich the audiovisual experience and further immerse users. Selecting musical content during design-time can have a controversial result based on the preferences of... more
In the last few years, a growing attention has been paid to the problem of human–human communication, trying to devise artificial systems able to mediate a conversational setting between two or more people. In this paper, we propose an... more
—We introduce the Tower Game Dataset for computational modeling of social interaction predicates. Existing research in affective computing has focused primarily on recognizing the emotional and mental state of a human based on external... more
Human behavior and affect is inherently a dynamic phenomenon involving temporal evolution of patterns manifested through a multiplicity of non-verbal behav-ioral cues including facial expressions, body postures and gestures, and vocal... more
Developing automatic personality predictors requires generating reliable annotations, i.e., ground truth. To date, researchers have relied on the overall ratings provided for a whole video sequence, either obtained by self-assessment or... more
Human-robot interaction (HRI) research requires new techniques for understanding the social dynamics that occur at the interface between humans and robots. Prior work has focused on incorporating the social cues and social signals... more

Conflict is usually defined as a high level of disagreement taking place when individuals act on incompatible goals, interests, or intentions. Research in human sciences has recognized conflict as one of the main dimensions along which an... more
Peer-led team learning (PLTL) is a model for teaching STEM courses where small student groups meet periodically to collaboratively discuss coursework. Automatic analysis of PLTL sessions would help education researchers to get insight... more
Now that Affective Computing and Social Signal Processing methods are becoming increasingly robust and accurate, novel areas of applications with significant societal impact are opening up for exploration. Perhaps one of the most... more
The analysis of human conversations under a social signalling perspective recently raised the joint attention of pattern recognition and psychology researchers. In particular, the dialog classification represents an appealing recent... more
The ability to process and, subsequently, understand affective signals is the core of emotional intelligence and empathy. However, more than a decade of research in affective computing has shown that it is hard to develop computational... more
