Multimodal corpus of multi-party meetings for automatic social behavior analysis and personality traits detection

This paper describes an automatically annotated multimodal corpus of multi-party meetings. The corpus provides for each subject involved in the experimental sessions information on her/his social behavior and personality traits, as well as audiovisual cues (speech rate, pitch and energy, head orientation, head, hand and body fidgeting). The corpus is based on the audio and video recordings of thirteen sessions, which took place in a lab setting equipped with cameras and microphones. Our main concern in collecting this corpus was to investigate the possibility of creating a system capable of automatically analyzing social behaviors and predicting personality traits using audio-visual cues.
