Haoyang has a nice paper at HRI 2024 that introduces a way to detect implicit social cues from raw data streams, modelling this exchange of information as a communication process.
Paper: lnkd.in/gCs5z34U
Code: lnkd.in/gggP389T
Work with @ecroft @monashengineers
ALT An image of two probability distributions, with and without communication. When the uncertainty with communication is lower than uncertainty without, a social cue is detected. The image illustrated this for both spatial and temporal settings.
