Nonverbal Role Analysis in Competitive Meetings", booktitle="IEEE International Conference on Audio, Speech and Signal Processing", year="2009", pages="1949--1952", abstract="This paper addresses the problem of social interaction analysis in competitive meetings, using nonverbal cues. For our study, we made use of ldquoThe Apprenticerdquo reality TV show, which features a competition for a real, highly paid corporate job. Our analysis is centered around two tasks regarding a person{\textquoteright}s role in a meeting: predicting the person with the highest status and predicting the fired candidates. The current study was carried out using nonverbal audio cues. Results obtained from the analysis of a full season of the show, representing around 90 minutes of audio data, are very promising (up to 85.7\% of accuracy in the first case and up to 92.8\% in the second case). Our approach is based only on the nonverbal interaction dynamics during the meeting without relying on the spoken words.", optnote="OR;MV", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=1154), last updated on Tue, 17 Dec 2013 12:48:12 +0100", isbn="978-1-4244-2353-8", issn="1520-6149", doi="10.1109/ICASSP.2009.4959992" }
