Body Language

Body language research focuses on automatically recognizing and interpreting nonverbal communication through movements, gestures, and postures, aiming to enhance human-computer interaction and social understanding. Current research employs deep learning models, including convolutional and transformer networks, often incorporating multi-modal data (e.g., video and audio) and attention mechanisms to analyze complex behaviors in various social contexts. This field is significant for advancing AI systems capable of nuanced social interaction and has implications for applications ranging from healthcare (e.g., pain recognition in animals) to improving human-robot collaboration.
