    Analysing Human Social Behaviour in Context

    Philipp Müller

    Abstract

    Human social behaviour always takes place in a specific context that needs to be taken into consideration in order to interpret it accurately. In this talk, I will present two views on the contextualised interpretation of behaviour.

    First, I will discuss the design and insights gained from the MultiMediate challenge, a multi-year endeavour to facilitate the development of engagement estimation approaches that are able to generalise across social situations, languages, cultural backgrounds, and age groups.

    Second, I will present work on the interpretation of affect expressions in social situations in which an expression is not a mere representation of an inner state, but entangled in a complex social process.
