Abstract

In contrast to the prevalent uni-modal perspective, the project focuses on quantitatively integrating information residing in multiple modalities to yield observational behavior analysis descriptions that range from global categories to time continuous behavioral abstractions and contributes novel algorithms and models for recognizing and modeling communicative and affective interaction dynamics elicited in realistic settings of couples and family therapy. The computational challenges are multiple from automated perception of emotionally rich behaviors and cognition through models for domain specific interpretation of the sensed information, to action through combining the knowledge and expertise of humans with the information processing abilities of the machine.
