Abstract
Our goal is to develop an AI Partner that can provide support for group
problem solving and social dynamics. In multi-party working group environments,
multimodal analytics is crucial for identifying non-verbal interactions of
group members. In conjunction with their verbal participation, this creates an
holistic understanding of collaboration and engagement that provides necessary
context for the AI Partner. In this demo, we illustrate our present
capabilities at detecting and tracking nonverbal behavior in student
task-oriented interactions in the classroom, and the implications for tracking
common ground and engagement.
