Research Abstract

This project aims at establishing a quantitative model for socio-cultural factors in nonverbal behaviors, and applying it to support cross-cultural communication. In analysis and modeling nonverbal behaviors, we investigated how postures and head nods are different depending on culture, social relationship, and the purpose of conversation such as negotiation, and established a model for predicting these behaviors. Moreover, we built a posture recognition system using a Kinect sensor. We actively promoted international activities by joining an international project and organizing a session in international conferences.
