Distinguishing the communicative functions of gestures

Abstract

This paper deals with the results of a machine learning experiment
conducted on annotated gesture data from two case studies (Danish
and Estonian). The data concern mainly facial displays, that are
annotated with attributes relating to shape and dynamics, as well as
communicative function. The results of the experiments show that the
granularity of the attributes used seems appropriate for the task of
distinguishing the desired communicative functions. This is a
promising result in view of a future automation of the annotation
task.
