Face to Face

Face-to-face interaction research focuses on understanding and replicating the complexities of human communication, encompassing verbal and nonverbal cues. Current efforts concentrate on developing multimodal models, often employing generative adversarial networks (GANs) and large language models, to synthesize realistic audio-visual interactions and analyze conversational dynamics, including the subtle interplay of facial expressions, body language, and speech patterns. This research is significant for advancing human-computer interaction, particularly in applications like mental health support and robotic assistance, by creating more natural and engaging interactions with AI agents. Furthermore, it provides valuable insights into the fundamental mechanisms of human communication itself.
