N2 - This paper investigates to which extent participants in spontaneously occurring interactions can be recognised automatically from the shape description of their bodily behaviours. For this purpose, we apply classification algorithms to an annotated corpus of Danish dyadic and triadic conversations. The bodily behaviours which we consider are head movement, facial expressions and hand gestures. Although the data used are of limited size, the results of classification are promising especially for hand gestures indicating big variance in people's bodily behaviours even if the involved participants are a homogeneous group in terms of gender, age and social background. The obtained results are not only interesting from a theoretic point of view, but they can also be relevant for video indexing and searching, computer games and other applications which involve multimodal interaction.
