Iiitb Researchers Develop Pipeline For A ‘human’ Engagement With Bots

Researchers at the International Institute of Informational Technology Bangalore (IIITB) have developed a ready-to-use interpretable pipeline which uses machine learning and psychology for modelling engagement in human-robot interactions. The pipeline can accurately measure each person’s engagement based on their visual and physiological cues, and can also provide deeper insights into human personality, attitudes, and emotions. The Big Five personality traits, the Interpersonal Circumplex, and the Triandis Theory of Interpersonal Behavior have been incorporated into the pipeline for the prediction of engagement.
