Bodily behavioral language is an important social cue, and its automated analysis helps in enhancing the understanding of artificial intelligence systems. Furthermore, behavioral language cues are essential for active engagement in social agent-based user interactions. Despite the progress made in computer vision for tasks like head and body pose estimation, there is still a need to explore the detection of finer behaviors such as gesturing, grooming, or fumbling. This paper proposes a multiview attention fusion method named MAGIC-TBR that combines features extracted from videos and their corresponding Discrete Cosine Transform coefficients via a transformer-based approach. The experiments are conducted on the BBSI dataset and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed feature fusion with multiview attention. The code is available at: https://github.com/surbhimadan92/MAGIC-TBR CCS CONCEPTS• Computing methodologies → Machine learning; • Humancentered computing → Empirical studies in HCI.

“…We evaluated the proposed model on the backchannel detection dataset in the MultiMediate'23 challenge [15] that was originally introduced in MultiMediate'22 [16]. The experimental results demonstrate the significance of attending to the salient moments and visual body parts, and the effectiveness of attention modules.…”

Automatic detection of backchannel has great potential to enhance artificial mediators, which indicate listeners' attention and agreement in human communication. It is often expressed by subtle nonverbal cues that occur briefly and sparsely. Focusing on identifying and locating these subtle cues (i.e., their occurrence moment and the involved body parts), this paper proposes a novel approach for backchannel detection. In particular, our model utilizes temporaland modality-attention modules to determine and lead the model to pay more attention to both the indicative moment and the accompanying body parts at that specific time. It achieves an accuracy of 68.6% on the testing set in MultiMediate'23 backchannel detection challenge, outperforming the counterparts. Furthermore, we conducted an ablation study to thoroughly understand the contributions of our model. This study underscores the effectiveness of our selection of modality inputs and the importance of the two attention modules in our model.
