Research Abstract |
The present research aimed on clarifying the relationship between speaking styles including prosodic and voice quality features, paralinguistic information such as dialogue acts, intentions and emotions, and visual modalities like head motion and facial expression. As main results, we clarified the paralinguistic functions carried by breathy/whispery voices and "rikimi" voices, we clarified the relations between dialogue acts and head motion, and proposed and evaluated a model for generating nod and head tilt motion from the dialogue acts.
