چکیده
In multi-party conversations it may not always be obvious who is talking to whom. Backchannels may provide a partial answer to this question, possibly in combination with some other events, such as gaze behaviors of the interlocutors. We look at some patterns in multi-party interaction relating features of backchannel behaviours to aspects of the partipation framework.

متن کاملArgviz: Interactive Visualization of Topic Dynamics in Multi-party Conversations
We introduce an efficient, interactive framework—Argviz—for experts to analyze the dynamic topical structure of multi-party conversations. Users inject their needs, expertise, and insights into models via iterative topic refinement. The refined topics feed into a segmentation model, whose outputs are shown to users via multiple coordinated views.
متن کاملThe Face Speaks: Contextual and Temporal Sensitivity to Backchannel Responses
It is often assumed that one person in a conversation is active (the speaker) and the rest passive (the listeners). Conversational analysis has shown, however, that listeners take an active part in the conversation, providing feedback signals that can control conversational flow. The face plays a vital role in these backchannel responses. A deeper understanding of facial backchannel signals is ...
