Abstract: | This paper describes a novel experimental setup exploiting state-of-the-art capture equipment to collect a multimodally rich
game-solving collaborative multiparty dialogue corpus. The corpus is targeted and designed towards the development of a dialogue
system platform to explore verbal and nonverbal tutoring strategies in multiparty spoken interactions. The dialogue task is centered on
two participants involved in a dialogue aiming to solve a card-ordering game. The participants were paired into teams based on their
degree of extraversion as resulted from a personality test. With the participants sits a tutor that helps them perform the task, organizes
and balances their interaction and whose behavior was assessed by the participants after each interaction. Different multimodal signals
captured and auto-synchronized by different audio-visual capture technologies, together with manual annotations of the tutor’s
behavior constitute the Tutorbot corpus. This corpus is exploited to build a situated model of the interaction based on the participants’
temporally-changing state of attention, their conversational engagement and verbal dominance, and their correlation with the verbal
and visual feedback and conversation regulatory actions generated by the tutor |
