A method to dynamically estimate emphasizing points and degree by using verbal and nonverbal information and physiological indices

摘要

The differences in the concepts of values which are the basis of human actions are important when we analyze intercultural communication. The purpose of this study is to estimate emphasizing points for decision-making, which is one of the concepts of values. For this purpose, we experimentally investigate how we could estimate discoveries new factors and increase degree of emphasis by using verbal information, nonverbal behavior and physiological indices. From the results of the investigation, we propose a method to dynamically estimate emphasizing points when two propositions were explained and a participant was asked what were his/her demands. We also conducted an experiment to evaluate our proposed method. As a result, we confirmed that the proposed method could accurately estimate the emphasizing points.
