Cultural Difference in Nonverbal Behaviors in Negotiation Conversations: Towards a Model for Culture-Adapted Conversational Agents

摘要

As the basis of generating nonverbal expressions in animated agents, this paper proposes factors that account for cultural difference in nonverbal behaviors in negotiation interaction. First, we introduce theories of negotiation and cultural characteristics. Then, our analysis of human interaction in negotiation conversations in CUBE-G corpus is described. Finally, by integrating cultural and negotiation parameters with empirical data obtained in the corpus analysis, we design a parameterized network model that generates culture specific nonverbal expressions in negotiation conversations.
