Tutorial requests for the interaction lab.

[Barachia]

I wanted to have a list of possible tutorials that are useful to both researchers and students. I'm considering having a separate issue for each tutorial or one giant issue here with a task list. At least I'll give a list of tutorials that I think are useful in addition to the NAO/Pepper/Furhat tutorial. Preferably we collect small tutorials from everyone who has worked with these systems and tools. Could also refer to existing tutorials (which hopefully won't disappear).

I am working on a bunch of these tutorials and had some questions about what people want to see for non-verbal speech understanding. So far I have collected some resources for eye-tracking, and emotion recognition and will be adding sentiment analysis under ASR/STT.

Are there other kinds of non-verbal speech understanding that people are interested in?

[Barachia]

That sounds great! Some things that I would like to extract from speech are prediction of turn-endings/starts (dyadic and multiparty) and voice activity. And a colleague of mine might be interested in detecting laughter in speech.

Other non-verbal stuff that is interesting are gaze and posture.
